Citizen Department

Actor Gerard Depardieu became a Russian.

In December 2012, Gerard Depardieu abandoned the citizenship of France - he published an open letter in the newspaper Journal Du Dimanche. “I do not ask for the approval of my act, but at least respect him! None of the country left the country was offended like me,” he wrote . After that, the actor moved to live in Belgium .

Depardieu abandoned his homeland for a reason - President Francois Hollande introduced a 75% rate of 1 million euros annual income. True, the Draconian tax was canceled the Constitutional Court, but it seems that the department can no longer be returned. Back in December, the actor joked: "Putin had already sent me a passport!" The president did not miss the joke. “If Gerard really wants to have either a residence permit in Russia, or a Russian passport, we will assume that this issue has been resolved and has already been resolved positively,” he said.

The president said - the president did: by decree of January 3, 2013, Putin wrote Russian citizenship to the French actor, and on January 6 he handed over his passport personally in his hands during a visit to Sochi. So he resurrected the long -forgotten genre of "Friends of the Soviet Union."

After finding a new document, the newly made Russian went to the capital of Mordovia Saransk, where he was presented with the keys to the new apartment and the Saransk residence permit . The problem with employment was also solved quickly: the actor was invited to work in the Tyumen Drama Theater , offered a fixed -term employment contract with a salary of 16 thousand rubles, allowances and surcharges for the performance of roles and promised a rented apartment in the center of Tyumen.
