MOSCOW. July 26 (Interfax) - President Vladimir Putin has signed a federal law detailing requirements for federal and municipal civil servants, the Kremlin press service announced on Wednesday.
Restrictions have been imposed on citizens claiming or occupying civil service posts at both federal and municipal levels who have foreign citizenship or residence permits or other documents authorizing their permanent residence in a foreign country.
This restriction will apply to Sate Duma deputies and Federation Council members, members of regional legislatures and regional governments, members of the Russian Security Council; the chairman, vice chairman and auditors of the Audit Chamber, and members of local legislatures and governments unless envisioned otherwise in Russian international agreements.
Citizens of these categories will have no right to be elected or appointed to state executive agencies and local governments, except in instances listed in Russian international agreements, when citizens with dual citizenship can be elected to local governments, and to the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament.
