	Propiska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Propiska (Russian: пропи́ска; the full term is Прописка по месту жительства, "The record of place of residence") was a regulation in the Soviet Union designed to control internal population movement by binding a person to his or her permanent place of residence.
		The propiska was to be recorded both in the internal passport of the citizens of the Soviet Union and at the local governmental office.
		Russia replaced propiska with registration primarily used for economic and law enforcement reasons such as accounting social benefits, housing and utility payments, taxes, conscription, etc. In Ukraine, the Constitutional Court ruled that propyska was unconstitutional in 2001 (November 14); a new "informational" registration mechanism was planned by the government.

	Propiska
		A propiska is a permit issued by the authorities that registers the bearer's place of residence.
		The Russian Constitutional Court has abolished propiska five times since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, yet legislatures at various levels have continued to issue laws aimed at controlling migration and residency that are blatantly unconstitutional, and a propiska-like system is still in place across many parts of the country.
		The propiska's restrictive nature is contrary to Article 12 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees freedom of movement - and as economic difficulties and ethnic tensions continue to mount, particularly in Russia, the inability to move freely can have life-threatening consequences.

	East European Constitutional Review
		The significant difference between the previous propiska regulations and the current law is that the propiska was based on gaining permission from government authorities, while the new law only involves registration, that is, a requirement to notify the authorities of one’s permanent or temporary residence.
		On March 12, 1996, the Constitutional Court finally began to examine directly the constitutionality of propiska regulations, in particular those applied in the city and oblast of Moscow, in Stavropol Krai, and in the city and oblast of Voronezh.
		As for the Voronezh Oblast propiska regulations, the Constitutional Court, on reflection, declined to rule on these, because the oblast had already changed the regulations by the time the case came before the Court.

		This means in theory that a citizen is free to choose a place of his/her residence on the territory of his/her country and register with the authorities by simply notifying them on any change in his/her address.
		In practice, the propiska system remains in place in most of the CIS countries affecting in particular the lives of many migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and displaced persons.
		Without a propiska they are perceived as illegal migrants and not as persons seeking international protection exposing them to the risk of refoulement.

		Every Soviet citizen was required to carry his or her propiska at all times, and had to show it to the police or the militia anytime they demanded it.
		The propiska carried, among other things, the registered address of the passport-holder and any deviation from it raised suspicions that he or she was up to no good.

		The propiska became (and to a large extent remains) the precondition for most civil rights and social benefits such as formal employment; access to housing; medical insurance; education; unemployment benefits; ration cards; the right to vote; even access to public libraries.
		The propiska entitles to living space that the landlord most probably wants to keep under his/her control, and in addition a registration may reveal to the tax authorities that the landlord makes money by subletting and thus is liable to taxation (which he or she almost certainly resents).
		Deprivation of flat/room and propiska should have been confirmed in a separate court case, and this was never the case for criminals.

		Presumably one of the greatest barriers to widening the scope of individuals entitled to permanent residence permits is that the permit continues to be coterminous with ownership.
		The propiska (stamped in one's internal passport) was formally reintroduced during the Soviet period in 1932 with the aim of controlling the movement of individuals and stemming the tide of impoverished peasants into better-supplied urban centers.
		The propiska was imperative for employment and all social benefits: access to schools, health care, pensions, social security benefits and the like.

		Although the origins of the obligatory residence permit or propiska system predate the Russian Revolution, it was officially instituted during the Soviet period in 1932 when internal passports became mandatory for all citizens aged sixteen and older.
		The propiska — which appears as a stamp in the internal passport —; was developed originally to stem the flow of rural dwellers into urban centers and to track the whereabouts of residents, ostensibly for law-enforcement purposes.
		The absence of a propiska makes the person vulnerable to detention and police harassment during identity checks, to the seizure of his or her passport, and to the payment of arbitrarily imposed fines and bribes.

		Although their 'defunct' propiskas are not valid as they have residence permits in camps and settlements.
		The propiska, in the form of a stamp in internal passports, restricted individuals to one legal place of residence and, on that basis, regulated many aspects of daily life as it was required in order to work, attend school, get married and engage in other important civic activities.
		The resulting restrictions on freedom of movement place particularly undue hardships on the displaced by limiting their ability officially to establish residence in areas, other than those to which they were initially assigned, where they may wish to migrate in search of better economic opportunities.

		According to the applicant, as long as his propiska indicated that Ukraine was his registered place of residence for the last 5 years before the date of submission of his application to be a candidate (12 January 2002), he should not be considered as having provided false information.
		As a consequence, he should not be excluded as a candidate on the ground that he did not satisfy the relevant residence condition, even though the fact that he was not actually residing in Ukraine during the period in question was undisputed.
