Dear Massimo, This is not actually right. Russians may have a second citizenship only under the bi-lateral international agreements, and such agreement has been concludued between Russia and Israel only. This has been discussed in press recently when they discovered that many bureaucrats here (especially in Pskov region) have dual citizenship, while these are especially prohibited from having two passports ;) SO, Russians with a second citizenship may lose their Russian passport on the border, if a special raid is called for ;)

Many russians who have italian citizenship can use both passport when they pass through the russian custom. But the situation may be really different with a US citizen..
