The child mortality rate in Russia, for children under the age of five, was 419 deaths per thousand births in 1855. This translated into roughly 42 percent of all children born in 1855 not surviving past the age of five, and it remained above forty percent until the early twentieth century. Since then it has fallen consistently and it is expected to fall to its lowest recorded figure, at just seven deaths per thousand people in the period between 2015 and 2020.
The spike in child mortality seen in the period between 1950 and 1955 is likely due to conflicting sources.
