well, these are technical details. The bottom line is that Russian Constitution article 62 does not prohibit having 2 citizenships or 2 passports see http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/const/ch2.html
On the US side however DS-11 must be filled to get a passport and it has following provisions:
(If any of the below–mentioned acts or conditions have been performed by or apply to the applicant, the portion which applies should be
lined out, and a supplementary explanatory statement under oath (or affirmation) by the applicant should be attached and made a part of
this application.) I have not, since acquiring United States citizenship/nationality, been naturalized as a citizen of a foreign state; taken an
oath or made an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state; entered or served in the armed forces of a foreign
state; accepted or performed the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or political subdivision
thereof; made a formal renunciation of nationality either in the United States, or before a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States
in a foreign state; or been convicted by a court or court martial of competent jurisdiction of committing any act of treason against, or attempting
by force to overthrow, or bearing arms against, the United States, or conspiring to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force,
the Government of the United States.
So I am wondering if any of these would prevent a child born in US (with American birth certificate) from getting the US passport if a child has a Russian passport/citizenship.
I am also not sure how to read "since acquiring United States citizenship/nationality". Would that mean if you can get a Russian passport first and thenUS passport then everything is fine?
