The number of genders recognized in Russia is a complex topic, encompassing grammatical gender and societal understanding of gender identity.
While Russian grammar distinguishes between three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), these grammatical genders apply to nouns and are distinct from gender identity. Regarding gender identity, societal views in Russia can be described as traditional, with a legal framework that does not explicitly recognize diverse gender identities. Therefore, there's not a single definitive answer to how many genders are "recognized" in Russia beyond the binary (male and female). The number is subject to various interpretations depending on whether one refers to legal recognition, societal norms, or personal identification.
