I have a question for all citizens of Russia who recently got their green crads. What do you have on the card as your place of birth? One acquaintance of mine recently got hers, and she scared the living hell out of me, because her card stated that her place of birth was USSR, and she said that that's how it's gonna be now.

Is it true? Thanks!

If you were born in the USSR - that would be your place of birth. (That would agree with what my wife's birth certificate and marriage certificate state). Why is that a big deal?

My wife's says USSR. Why does this scare the hell out of you??

It is based on what the birth certificate says. The fact that the country no longer exists doesn't matter. If you were born in USSR, then that's what it should say.

Cheers!

Thank you very much!

My birth certificate says the Russian Federation.

No, "USSR" doesn't actually "scare" me lol, but it would just sound very unusual to me. Although, yes - I was born when the USSR was still around.

Thank you very much again!
