A number of amendments to Russian "Law on Citizenship" (62-FZ) were adopted in June 2015. The amendments referred to Article 14 of the law "Simplified way of accepting to citizenship». It looked like naturalisation in Russia was being liberalised.
By standard procedure, 3 months were given to various government bodies to make provisions to enable operation of the amendments. Now, in Feb 2015, 7 months later from June 2014 still none of the amendments work.
