The first “non-citizen” appeared in Moscow

In Moscow, a stateless person received a temporary identity card for the first time. Eva Merkacheva, a member of the Moscow Public Monitoring Commission and the Human Rights Council, told RIA Novosti that the document was issued to 53-year-old Yakubjan Khakimdzhanov, who spent more than two years in Sakharovo in a temporary detention center for foreign citizens. Due to the lack of any citizenship, he could not be deported anywhere.

Recall that the law on such documents was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2021. The certificate is issued for ten years and allows you to work without a permit.

According to the man himself, he was born in Dushanbe, and when he was five years old, the family moved to Astrakhan. He did not go to school. “I walked, smoked and played cards. I went to prison when I was young, and it went on like that, ”Merkacheva quoted Khakimdzhanova as saying. And she clarified that the man was placed not in a cell, but in a temporary residence room.

“He is only upset that there is no TV, but he reads books. And he learned to read and write in the Butyrka pre-trial detention center, ”Merkacheva said. The last time Khakimdzhanov was detained not for a crime, but because the police could not identify him. Then it turned out that the man is not a citizen of any state.
