All I saw was studying in eastern europe and "lives in Russia". Russia is in eastern Europe although usually not referred to as an eastern european nation.

I am aware of the EU and it's member states, I'm a little confused as to what might have implied I did not. I am from an EU member state.

I was just curious about if and how they planned to aquire citizenship because it's a lengthly process and they mentioned they were in the process while living in Russia. Usually residence permit is the way to go (and years later citizenship). It was rightly pointed out that if you can prove descent from a citizen it might be easier.
