What the numbers say
In 2025, Russian Federation's inflation, consumer prices (annual % growth) rose 0.29 percentage points on 2024 (from 8.43% to 8.72%).

This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 58.06 percentage points in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 566.52 percentage points in 1994. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 28% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
