Abstract	The age model of fertility in post-Soviet Russia is constantly changing. The general trend here is an increase in the average age of motherhood, but age-related fertility patterns are subject to spatial and temporal differentiation. The study, based on a panel regression analysis of time trends, determined the average rate of change in age-specific fertility rates for the most important 5-year age groups of women living in urban and rural areas, in a spatial and temporal context for 79 regions in 1993–2022. It has been established that the transition to the age structure of fertility characteristic of developed countries, when the postponement of childbearing at a young age is compensated by its increase in maturity, in post-Soviet Russia is valid only for the urban population, while rural population does not have such compensation. Regardless of the grouping of regions, age, intertemporal and rural- urban differences in the dynamics of fertility were revealed. Regional peculiarities of women’s reproductive behavior have been identified, which are consistently reproduced in several age groups and time periods.
