Aliona
Aliona is a stateless individual who has lived in Greece for 35 years after immigrating from Moscow as a child. Despite her long residency, she has faced significant legal challenges in obtaining citizenship, as the passport issued to her by the now-defunct Soviet Union does not grant her recognition by either Russia or Greece. Aliona's situation highlights the struggles of approximately 7,000 stateless people in Greece, and she has become an advocate for the rights of the stateless, expressing the profound limitations on her life due to her lack of nationality.
