PART 4 A YEAR AFTER: MAIN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN CRIMEA from the point of view of the occupying country. Meanwhile, the laws of RF provide for possible criminal responsibility for concealment of the second citizenship (for 4 Crimeans, this provision of the RF law will come into eT ect on January 1, 2016 ). After this date all Ukrainian citizens domiciled and registered in Crimea will have to make notiR cations about their Ukrainian citizenship. The concealment of the infor- mation about citizenship may entail criminal responsibility (Article 330-2 of the RF Criminal Code – punishable by a R ne of up to 200,000 rubles or in the amount of an annual income of the convicted person, or up to 400 hours of compulsory work). The citizens who fail to make such notiR cations in a due time or provide incomplete or knowingly false information, are subject to administrative R ne in the amount of 500 to 1,000 rubles. There are grounds to believe that this provision can be extended to the internally displaced persons, which currently reside in the mainland Ukraine. According to various estimates the number of the internally displaced persons from Crimea and Sevastopol amounts to 15 – 30 thousand people. Importantly, the procedure for submission of such an application envisag- es having a passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation. Therefore, those who did not submit an application for renunciation of citizenship of the Rus- sian Federation/retention of the Ukrainian citizenship (see below), and did not obtain a Russian passport, would not be able to submit such an application. The recognition of the inhabitants of the peninsula as Russian citizens was automat- ic, without considering each case separately. In fact, the Russian government can claim that all those whose place of residence was registered in Crimea and Sevas- topol are Russian citizens – regardless of whether such persons actually resided in the territory of the peninsula. The ‘automatic citizenship’ could be avoided only by R ling personal application on the intention to retain Ukrainian citizenship before April 18, 2014 only in 4 o7 c- es for all Crimea (including Sevastopol), after standing in one line with those who wanted to receive a Russian passport. Although formally the period for R ling such an application should have been one month (from March 18 to April 18, 2014), in fact, the procedure for acceptance of such applications was introduced on April 1 (the date of entry into force of the law On the accession of Crimea). In mid-April 2014, the additional o7 ces for registration of refusals from Russian citizenship were open (while, according to the Russian Federal Migration Service (FMS), the number of the o7 ces accepting documents on the RF passport was about 250). The actual term for R ling such applications was about three weeks. Moreover, these were not the o7 ces speciR cally designed for processing such applications, they accepted 4 http://www.rg.ru/2014/06/06/grajdanstvo-dok.html 82
