Yes, issues due to this can indeed arise when leaving Russia at border control. The fact is that border guards check that you are not taking someone else's child out of Russia and that all your documents are in order, and among other things, there are no bans on taking a minor child abroad. But, in principle, this problem is easily solved with supporting documents. For this, take the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your surname change: marriage certificate or surname change certificate. This is enough for border guards to be sure that you are the child's mother. In rare cases, they may additionally ask the child who you are to them to further verify. Also, proof of relationship can be the inclusion of information about children in your passport; this option is even on the fourth page of the new type of international passport. However, this information is not filled in by default, so be sure to check if it is filled in your documents before the trip.
And just in case, we also remind you that according to Russian laws, in general, there is no need to obtain a notarized power of attorney (permission) from the second parent for one parent to travel abroad with a child. A power of attorney is only needed if the second parent has filed a ban on taking the child abroad, and they may refuse to give this temporary permission through a notary, and in such a case, nothing can be done even by law. However, before traveling, be sure to check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for authorization documents for the child. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized power of attorney.
