Yes, questions due to a different surname of the child can actually arise when leaving the Russian Federation at border control. The fact is that border guards check that you are not taking someone else's child out of the country and that all your documents are in order, including that there are no bans on the child's departure. But, in principle, this issue is easily resolved with supporting documents. Therefore, take the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your surname change: a marriage certificate or a surname change certificate. This is enough for border guards to verify that you are the child's mother. In rare cases, they may additionally ask the child who you are to them to further confirm. Also, proof of relationship can be the inclusion of information about children in your passport; there is even such a field on the fourth page of the new-style 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 the child's departure abroad, and they may refuse to give this temporary permission through a notary, in which case nothing can be done even by law. At the same time, before traveling, be sure to check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for child authorization documents. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized power of attorney.
