Good day. Such a situation:
Buda, a citizen of Ukraine, was born in Russia, and the birth certificate was issued by Russia. This certificate is now lost. Is it possible to somehow claim it (a duplicate) from Russia now, or do we need to go to court to establish the fact of birth. It is interesting that there is a copy of this document, but it is not certified.

Good day.
If there is such an opportunity, you should contact the authority in Russia that issued you this certificate with a request to provide a duplicate. If such a body no longer exists, then to its legal successor.
If, for some reason, you are not issued a duplicate certificate in Russia, this does not deprive you of the opportunity to apply to the court to establish the fact of birth. These cases are considered quickly, in the order of separate proceedings.
