Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to propose the definition of the abovementioned notion, the study of the issues relating to the effective realization of punishment by depriving the citizenship as a form of criminal punishment according to Criminal Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In order to look into this form of crime in a more scientific way the following methods have been used: historical, comparative –legal, logical, structural and functional. The authors of this paper have carried out the comparative – legal analysis of foreign legislative
practice. It has enabled them to make a conclusion that in the countries stipulating a deprivation of citizenship as a form of punishment there are no requirements about the purposes of punishment. The authors consider that such an approach is characteristic of only those countries which do not have legally established special purposes of punishment.
