I see that Savchenko acquired German citizenship. Guess they must've had to pass a special law too!

Actually, no. Some high official in Saxony, where they reside, awarded her the citizenship - the reasons were that she is an outstanding athlete and belongs to German medal hopefuls for the olympics.
