The Russian Trotter is a breed of trotting horse from the Russian Federation. It originated from cross-breeding of native Orlov Trotter horses with imported American Standardbred stock from about 1890; by about 1950 the Russian Trotter breed was considered established, although some cross-breeding with American stallions continued.[2]:{{{3}}} A stud-book was established in 1927;[1]:{{{3}}} in 1989 it ran to 23 volumes.[2]:{{{3}}}

The Russian Trotter is widely distributed, from the Baltic to Siberia. In 1989 there were approximately 290,000 in the USSR, of which some 27,000 were considered purebred.[2]:{{{3}}}
