Personennamen und Recht in Russland (aus rechtswissenschaftlicher Sicht): Personennamen und Recht in Russland Namen und Recht in Europa / Names and the Law in Europe, Akten der Tagung in Regensburg, 16. und 17. April 2015 / Conference Papers, Regensburg, 16 and 17 April 2015

The investigation of the Russian name law shows that it has a
marked continental European approach. Acquisition and name changes of a
natural person are governed by strict regulations, nevertheless, the legislation
grants a limited freedom of choice.
Names for natural persons in Russia continue to fullfill important identification
and individualization functions. A name gives linguistic recognition
to a person, through which they are distinguished from other people. It makes
the name-bearer clearly responsible, and socially and legally tangible. The
identification function serves both the interests of the state and the general
public. The legal name is entered into the register of births, upon the birth
certificate and subsequent personal papers. Furthermore, the name is personally
legally valid, so that it serves the individualization function for the
name-bearer, who has an interest in being able to be so distinguished by name
from others.
