What happens if you lose all citizenship? - eviltoast

This godforsaken country is introducing the bill that allows to strip people of birth-given russian citizenship for some things - like desertion and discreditation of army (which happens every time you question war)

So, my question, if someone loses all citizenship, what happens next? Is their life basically over? Is there a way to re-gain citizenship (like, in another country)? Can they be deported?

    I honestly don’t know, I remember someone got trapped at an airport once because their country stopped existing while they were there

        Are you talking about The Terminal? Unless he made a second movie about the same guy, the word"documentary" seems like a stretch.

          I think they were making the type of joke where people will call movies “documentaries” when they’re really “fiction that can kind of almost be attributed to real events”

              Someone recently made me realize that movie is set in a better timeline than ours

              See, they have a problem and find the smartest person in the world. Then, even though they think his idea is crazy, they listen to him

      This is so infuriating. The country didn’t disappear overnight. The land is still there, they could have sent him back. Even if the country was nuked to ashes, they could just accept him as a political refugee.

      It was someone suffering from a mental illness or personality disorder. They went out of their way to be stuck at the airport. Refused help from family, refused help from a reporter who actually went through the trouble of proving his citizenship. He wanted to be at that airport and live that life.
