The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for the following terms of conviction cancellation:
upon expiry of the probationary period in respect of persons conditionally convicted – one year after serving a sentence softer than imprisonment;
three years after serving a sentence of imprisonment for crimes of little and medium gravity;
six years after serving a sentence of imprisonment for serious crimes;
eight years after serving a sentence for especially grave crimes.
Cancellation of a criminal record before the term expiration is possible by filing a corresponding petition with the court, if a person has proven his reformation by impeccable behavior. The law does not provide for the minimum period after which it is possible to file such a petition with a court (part 5 of article 86 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). A conviction can also be removed by an act of amnesty or pardon.

It is necessary to contact the utility providers, HOA or the management company on the issue of partial payment and debt cancellation. If it is not possible to enter a settlement, apply to the court with a statement of claim to the utility service providers to cancel the debt and exclude the debt from the utility bill due to the expiration of the 3-year limitation period from the utility service providers to collect the debt from you. Regarding the remaining debt amount, you can apply to conclude a debt restructuring agreement with utility providers.

A referral to MSA (medical and social assessment) is desirable, but not a prerequisite for its undergoing. The social protection bodies at the place of residence and the corresponding departments of the pension fund are entitled to refer to MSA in addition to a clinic. If all the listed institutions refuse to issue this referral, then we write an official application to the district clinic with a request to refer to MSA and demand a response in writing. Subsequently, we attach this answer instead MSA referral to our application and the rest package of documents required for its undergoing. You can apply for MSA yourself, both in person and through the website of state services. MSA must be appointed and completed within 30 days. An MSA conclusion can be appealed by contacting the same bureau that carried it out, they themselves send your complaint letter to the main bureau with their covering note. It considered within 30 days. The appeal against the decision of the main bureau occurs in the same way: the complaint is submitted to the main bureau, from there they themselves forward it to the federal bureau. You can also appeal the MSA conclusion at any stage to Roszdravnadzor, the terms of consideration are the same. (Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated January 31, 2007 No. 77, as amended by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated October 28, 2009 No. 853n).

Orphans who have finished serving their sentences in a juvenile colony for a crime have the right to housing. When a child who has lost parental care reaches the age of 14, he is included in the register of orphans in need of housing. To be in line for an apartment in 2018 orphans need to submit an application from the guardian, trustee or the administration of the premises where a child is currently living. In case an application for inclusion in the register for public housing has not been issued for any reason, a child has the right to do it on his own, but only upon reaching the age of majority. Applications are accepted by a special state body authorized to take care of the orphans. A year before the orphan child reaches the age of 18, the legal guardians or the administration of the institution where a child is staying, prepare a special package of documents required to obtain housing. Each constituent entity of the Russian Federation requires its own set of documents, so you should find out about them in advance. Subject to the successful passage of all instances, a child must receive housing the next year, immediately after reaching the age of 18 . (FL 159)
