From what I read in the last AHSGR Journal that is what it sounded like to me -- there was no such thing as citizenship.

In the Fall 2010 AHSGR Journal, in the article "The Germans of the Volga Region - 'Sons of Israle in Eqypt'?", by Dr. Elena V. Ananyan, who is a professor at Volzhsky Institute of Humanities, a branch of Volgograd State University, she says: "It should be mentioned that according to the Proclomation of 1763 privilges for emigrants were granted for five to thirty years (with the exception of unlimited ones), after that period that status of German colonists should have become equal to the status of Russian citizens." According to Dr. Anayan, hat sounds like they were considered citizens to me.
