“Historical abortion statistics, Russia from 1923-2015”
http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/ab-russia.html

Here are a few sample years (these stats only account for official data)

1965:

births: 1,990,520
abortions: 5,463,300

1988:

births: 2,348,494
abortions: 4,608,953

2000:

births: 1,297,176
abortions: 2,114,700

2007: the first year where live births outnumbered abortions

births: 1,610,122
abortions: 1,479,010

2015:

births: 1,940,579
abortions: 848,180

This trend has held pretty steady since then, but in 2017 (last year) the birth rate overall hit a ten year low:
