Russian nationality law consists of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (of 1993), the federal act regarding citizenship of the Russian Federation (of 2002, with the amendments of 2003, 2004, 2006) and the international treaties that cover citizenship questions to which the Russian Federation is a party. In accordance with the supremacy clause of the Constitution, international treaties of the Russian Federation have precedence over Russian domestic law.
