This Executive Order aims to protect human and civil rights and freedoms based on the universally recognised principles and norms of international law.

In accordance with it, the right to apply for Russian citizenship under simplified procedures, without compliance with a number of requirements, has been granted to foreign citizens and stateless persons aged above 18, who possess full legal capacity and permanently reside in Transnistria as of the date of the entry of this Executive Order into force. The document also sets out the procedure for granting citizenship to underage or incapacitated residents of that region.

It includes a list of documents that are to be submitted together with the application for Russian citizenship and stipulates the procedure for considering applications and making decisions on them.
