Russia

For the first time in modern Russia, their newborn daughter was named their newborn in the Schmakov family for “patriotic reasons”.

In 2002, Lyudmila and Evgeny Shmakov from Nizhny Tagil called their newborn daughter Russia. At the registry office, Shmakov even had to write an explanatory note in which they substantiated the choice of the name with “patriotic considerations”. In 2016, the mayor of the city solemnly handed a passport of 14-year-old Russia. Her parents then said that they did not regret the choice of a name at all, and only complained that their daughters were given monotonous gifts - flags and emblems for their birthday.

In 2007, the family of the Perminovs from Kirov also called Russia their daughter. The registry office then assumed that, having matured, the girl would want to change the name “to less loud”. In 2014, Russia was called their daughter Anna and Oleg Olennikov from Buryatia, because the girl was born on June 12 - on Russia Day. For the two -year period, the Olennikovs bought Russia a dress and a cake in the colors of the tricolor. The girl’s father also said that Russia loves to listen to the military marches and anthem of his country.

In 2019, Russia called a daughter in the family of Russians from St. Petersburg. The mother of the girl Valentine of Russians then told reporters that her husband insisted on the name. Valentina herself initially doubted, but in the end she decided that the girl with that name would “sow light on her beloved Russians”.

After the start of the war in Ukraine, the popularity of the name Russia has grown. In 2023, two girls born in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Tatarstan were named at once.

The mother of one of the girls Lyudmila Nakharacheva explained that she was inspired by the “situation in the world”: “When many people say that we are ashamed, they leave Russia and throw it. I decided the other way around. We are not ashamed, we are proud and love our country. ”

In the second case, the girl was called a triple name Russia-Svyatosia-Svyatorossia. “I felt that I live in a country that is wonderful, beautiful,” said the father of the girl Vladimir Sukhov. - We knew that before Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] there was another country. Now a wonderful person has come and began to help us, help people. We now proudly called our daughter Russia. ” Russia-Svyatosia-Svyatorossia is not the first member of the family with an unusual name. Her mother is the name of the family, and the younger brother is nature. In addition to Russia and nature, the father has 12 more children from other women, the story of the name of each of whom, according to Sukhov, is connected with the "ancestors and the Motherland."

Putin

For the first time, the president’s surname was registered as a name in 2016. The Dzhuraev family, living in the village of Zvezovo, Vladimir Region, decided to change the name of her son from Rasul to Putin at the insistence of the boy’s grandfather. Rakhmon Dzhuraev, who was 70 years old in 2016, was a great fan of Vladimir Putin and even arranged a museum of the president at home. In it, he puts down souvenirs with the image of Putin, photographs of the president and carpets with his portraits, which he collects for several decades.

“I somehow read that in Egypt the child was given the name Putin, and thought, why not in Russia this?” - Rahmon Juraev told about his idea to rename his grandson. His proposal Juraevs was supported by the family council. After the approvals in various departments, the district administration approved the statement and the two -year Rasul turned into Putin. Subsequently, Shoigu also composed the company Putin - so, at the insistence of Rahmon Dzhuraev, they called him the second grandson, Putin's cousin. He was going to call the third grandson Ramzankadirov.

In 2023, the head of the district registry office told the regional media that the Juraevs were “repenting” and want to return the name that was given at birth. Soon the news about this disappeared from the website of the publication, and the Juraevs refused to comment on the official’s statement. At the time of publication, the name Putin in the Unified State Examination is absent. Shoigu is still.

Another Putin was born in 2017 in Makhachkala in a family of medical students from Afghanistan. His full name is Putin Abdulkader. The registry office said that they tried to dissuade his father to call the boy like that, but not because such a name “binds a lot”, but because it seemed strange to use the name as a name. But he could not be convinced. “He said that he admires Vladimir Vladimirovich and that he was his dream to call his son Putin,” recalled the registry office.

There are much more frequent cases when boys with the name Putin are called Vladimir. So in July 2023, St. Petersburg called her son Vladimir Putin in honor of her father, the namesake of the president. She considers the coincidence to be happy, and is sure that a person with the name of the president is designed to lead people to order and agreement.

Crimea

In 2014, large parents from Yekaterinburg called their sixth child Crimea shortly after the annexation of the peninsula. The boy Alexander Shalaginov suggested calling the boy as a “sonorous and patriotic” name, but his wife Oksana reacted seriously to the idea. When the Crimea was two and a half years old, Oksana told reporters that he was called Crimea, Crimea and our Crimea in the family. The Shalaginovs also said that they were going to move to Sevastopol and send Crimea to the cadet school as soon as he grows up to become a naval officer.

Arsina

In 2023, in Ulyanovsk, large parents Ekaterina and Alexander Verheevs called their seventh child Arsina in honor of the Russian army. Her name is the abbreviation of the slogan "Army - the power of the people." On this occasion, a solemn event was arranged at the local registry office.

Verheeva said that she and her husband could not choose a name for her daughter for a long time. It was important for them that the name "bore a semantic load and approach the patronymic of Aleksandrovna." The name of Arsin, in their opinion , perfectly meets these criteria. The family also liked the name. “Parents said that the name is very beautiful, sonorous and suitable for our baby. And the children are delighted with the meaning that we invested in the name, because they really believe that the country's army is protection, it is power, it is courage, it is power, ” said Verheeva.
