In 2024, in the Astrakhan region, the name Muhammad became popular among boys. This trend continues into 2025.

According to media reports, several years ago, this name also took first place in the Khanty-Mansiysk region.

Sergey Mironov, the head of the “Fair Russia — For Truth” faction in the State Duma, called this trend a result of social and cultural changes and noted that it should be seriously considered by society and politicians.

According to him, the choice of the name Muhammad by a large number of families is a sign of the preservation of religious values and national identity. This trend may influence demographic processes and national policy.

Authorities state that such changes show that Russian society is moving towards diversity, and in the future, issues of coexistence and cultural adaptation will become increasingly important.

Sergey Mironov is known as one of the opponents of labor migration and has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the presence of migrants in Russia.
