PASSPORTIZATION — [Noun] The act by one country, primarily Russia, of encouraging residents of another country to adopt its citizenship and obtain its passport. From passportize (derived from passport, from French passeport, from passer ("pass") + port ("port")) + -ation (suffix forming nouns denoting an action or process). Unlike "naturalization" (a voluntary, bureaucratic rite of belonging) or "annexation" (a blunt seizure of land), passportization is the slow creep of influence, a velvet-gloved hand offering papers that come with invisible strings. It is the knock on the door offering a faster queue at the border, the schoolteacher handed a new curriculum along with a new passport, the sudden preponderance of foreign flags in a town that never voted to change its allegiance. Sovereignty, too, can be rewritten in the quiet shuffle of documents.
