Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday gave the Russian citizenship of American writer, the former informal adviser to US President Ronald Reagan on the USSR Susanne Mascas. The decree of the head of state is published on the official portal of legal information, writes TASS.
“Take to the citizenship of the Russian Federation of the following persons: Massey Susann Rorbach, born on January 8, 1931 in the United States of America,” says, in particular, in decree.
The same decree Putin gave citizenship of the Russian Federation to several natives of France – descendants of emigrants from Russia. Among them – 80-year-old Dimitri Corniloff, 71-year-old Sergey Alexy (Sergey Alekseevich) Kopnis, 41-year-old Alexander Paul Murii and 34-year-old Dimitri Listet.
Suzanna Massey – American writer, author of bestseller “Earth of Firebirds”. In the 1980s, she was an informal adviser to Reagan on the Soviet Union.
In May of the current year, Mascia on the air of the NTV television channel appealed to Putin with a request to give it the citizenship of the Russian Federation, noting that she dedicated many years of his life to the rapprochement of the peoples of Russia and the United States. In June, in the sidelines of the meeting of the Livadia Club, Massi said to journalists that citizenship needed to write a book in Russia.
