Family who named son Putin in honour of Russian president regret it 10 years later

A family who named their son Putin to honour the Russian president Vladimir Putin now seemingly regret the decision and wants his original name back.

The Dzhurayev family moved to Russia from Tajikistan in the early 2010s and officially renamed their son when he was one-and-a-half years old to Rasul Putin.

Now records show that Rasul's parents have sought permission from officials to change it back, according to the head of the registry office in the town of Aleksandrov, 90 kilometres north-east of Moscow.
