He told about this in an interview with “Babel".

"Our Constitution states that we have a single citizenship. And when people took the second, third, fifth — they had to think about some kind of responsibility?" Danilov noted.

According to him, in addition to the passport, there are many other nuances, in particular, where a person pays taxes. Or where he has the right to vote and elect the government.
