Russia's leader Vladimir Putin's new decree has sparked serious debate in the political arena. According to him, former US President Joe Biden's aide, Tara Reid, is now officially a Russian citizen. This was announced via the Kremlin's website, RBK reported.
Tara Reid's name was first mentioned in the 1990s, when Joe Biden was still a senator. At that time, he worked as an assistant in the Biden office. However, decades later, Reed made a statement that shook American politics in 2020. According to him, he was subjected to violence by Biden during his tenure as a senator.
These accusations coincided with Joe Biden's presidential candidacy and caused a great stir in the US public. However, Biden's headquarters quickly denied these statements, and no official investigation or charges were filed against him. Also, Reed's statement was not officially confirmed in the court documents.
In 2023, Tara Reid's life changed dramatically. He moved to Russia, saying that he didn't feel safe in the US and was facing threats. After living in Moscow, he collaborated with the RT television channel and began to actively appear in the media space close to the state.
For information, according to Russian law, a candidate for citizenship usually needs to have legally resided in the country for at least five years. However, in some cases, this period is not required by the President's personal decision. Putin's current decision is also being assessed as such a special case.
Analysts believe that Tara Reid's acceptance of Russian citizenship could be seen as another symbolic step against the backdrop of political disputes between the two countries. Because he is known not only for his opposition to the US political elite, but also as a person who corresponds to the direction of political development of Moscow officials.
Thus, it is clear that a turning point in Tara Reid's personal life will intensify not only her fate, but also the debates in the geopolitical landscape.
