In Russia in 2025, the total fertility rate decreased.

      In December 2025 the total fertility rate (TFR) in Russia stood at 1.374 compared with 1.4 a year earlier, the newspaper Kommersant reports. During 2025 the indicator fluctuated between 1.37 and 1.39 — in spring and autumn it was about 1.38. The statistics do not include data for the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR, LPR), or for the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts. The highest TFR in December 2025 was recorded in Chechnya — 2.596. Regions with the highest fertility also included Tuva (2.214) and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (2.01). A year earlier the leaders by this indicator were also Chechnya and Tuva. The lowest values of the total fertility rate in 2025 were noted in Leningrad Oblast (0.914), and in Smolensk (1.012) and Vladimir (1.059) oblasts. In addition, in Russia the fertility rate for third and subsequent children fell — in December 2025 it was 0.362 compared with 0.376 in 2024. The total fertility rate shows how many children on average one woman would bear over the entire reproductive period — from ages 15 to 50. To maintain the population this indicator should be 2.1. The maximum TFR in modern Russia was recorded in 2015 — 1.77. Recall that in Kirov Oblast over three years the fertility rate fell significantly: from 2020 to 2023 it decreased from 8.9‰ to 7.5‰ per 1,000 people, while mortality increased — reflecting a worsening demographic situation in the region. It was also reported in January 2026 that, based on the results of 2025, Kirov Oblast entered the top three of the Volga Federal District by total fertility rate, surpassing the district’s average figures.

Scientists from the Laboratory of Astrochemistry at Ural Federal University have made an important discovery: they found “laughing gas” — nitrous oxide (N2O) — in interstellar ices. The results were published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.

Its abundance ranged from 0.2% to 2.1% relative to CO ice. This is the first reliable confirmation that N2O is indeed present in interstellar ices and occurs there fairly widely. More than 300 molecules are already known in the gas phase of interstellar clouds, but finding them in ices is much more difficult — until now scientists had been able to confidently identify only eight. Nitrous oxide is now the ninth such molecule. Researchers also reported preliminary signs of another molecule — isocyanic acid (HNCO). To identify N2O, the team compared James Webb Space Telescope data with laboratory spectra of ice grown on the ISEAge setup. This helped to accurately interpret the observations and confirm the finding. The discovery is important because nitrous oxide can react more readily at very low temperatures than molecular nitrogen (N2). It can participate in the formation of more complex nitrogen-containing compounds — including those from which amino acids could later form. Interestingly, half of the protostars with detected N2O are located in the Orion A star-forming region. Scientists suggest that strong ultraviolet radiation in this region may influence the formation of this molecule, but the exact mechanisms remain to be determined. * Protostar — a young star in the process of formation, surrounded by gas and dust.

In Russia in 2025, the total fertility rate decreased.

By the end of 2025, Russia's total fertility rate fell below the previous year's level and remained significantly below the rate required for population replacement.
