Resident registration in Russia

In 2004 Supreme Court of Russia banned discrimination based on residential registration. Current Russian labour code contains direct prohibition to require local registration for employing Russian citizens. == History ==

The institute of propiska was found unlawful by Committee of Constitutional Supervision of the USSR in 1991 and officially discontinued in Russia in 1993. In December 1993, the new Constitution of Russia came into force. The "''Law on Russian citizens' right to freedom of movement...''" regarding registration was adopted by Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation in June 1993. In 1996 and 1998, the Constitutional Court of Russia liberalized some provisions of the legislation and nullified some restrictive laws that had been enacted by local authorities. In 2005, the Government of Russia extended the registration-free period to 90 days for internal movements. Temporary registration is needed only for temporary residences of 91-days or longer. == See also ==
