Do we have russian citizenship?
My sister and I were born in Germany to a German father and a Russian mother. Obviously, through that, we have German citizenship; however, our parents never went through the process of getting us Russian citizenship or a Russian passport.
A few years ago, Mother passed away, by which point I was already over 18. My sister, however, was a minor at the time.
We've been wondering for a while if it is possible for us to still qualify for Russian citizenship through our mother. Neither of us has ever lived in or even traveled to Russia. However, we have access to all necessary documents to prove our status as children of a Russian citizen.
Are we Russian citizens? Do we qualify for citizenship? Was that once the case, and the chance to get that recognized has passed?
I'm having a hard time finding a concrete answer to our situation, so I'd appreciate any help.
