A Russian citizenship is much priced in the former-USSR, especially in the Central Asia and economically depressed countries such as Ukraine and Moldova. Even in the Baltic nations the Russian citizenship is increasingly getting popular, despite these nations being in the European Union. That said, De Niro might not consider applying for the Russian passport. He owns restaurants and cafeterias all around the world, and the newly opened cafe in Moscow is just one of them.

Is there any reason why Robert 'De Biro' wants Russian citizenship? What possible advantage is there for him?

Low tax rates can be one of the reasons. Remember Gérard Depardieu? He dumped his French passport, and applied for the Russian citizenship after the French government increased the income tax rate to 75% (In Russia, the rate of income tax is a uniform 13%). The VAT is also one of the reasons. A liter of gasoline costs €1.329 in Germany, while it costs just €0.537 in Russia.

But as an American he'd have to give up his citizenship to make any tax savings. I doubt he worries about the price of gas too much either.

Why should he give up his American citizenship? Both the United States and Russia permits dual citizenship. In fact, most of the sane countries in the world permit dual citizenship. Only some retarded ones (such as Ukraine and North Korea) are against it. Roy Jones in an interview even confirmed that he will be a dual citizen of both Russia and the US.

American citizens are taxed worldwide. If he became a Russian citizen to save tax it wouldn't make any difference if he retained American citizenship too.

I believe that only the income which is generated within the United States will be taxed by the US authorities. So it should be OK, because Russia does not impose income tax on revenue from outside Russia. So if De Niro is earning some $1,000,000 by renting out his house in the US, then he will be paying the taxes only to the American authorities, and not to the Russians.

I believe that only the income which is generated within the United States will be taxed by the US authorities. It's correct for normal countries. It's unfortunately, but your belief doesn't matter in case of United States. US has imperial complex and forces every its citizen to fill a declaration of incomings, including those which were received outside of their actual jurisdiction. He will be taxed for the foreign incomings or prosecuted for tax evasion otherwise. It's very funny because even the "totalitarian" DPRK doesn't force its citizen to act in such way.

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

Why he is considering to abandon his country and people who have given him so much love, publicity, money, fame. He should rather consider helping the poor and needy people with his wealth that he has accumulated so far. Instead of paying back, he wants to leave the country..

He probably found out about something and wants to leave.
Or he's not agreeing with the american goverment or maybe he's using this as a backup plan.
Just a few of my guesses here

It not only celebrities who are leaving because of high tax rate.
Corporations have been doing that too (tax inversion): Burger King is not a Canadian company. Medical device manufacturer Medtronic has moved it's HQ to Ireland for a much lower 12.5% tax than the US 35%. Apple has billions of profit overseas, and borrowed $30 billion in the US because they can deduct loan interest from profits and enjoy lower tax.
