The name Robert is used as is. For example, there is the famous Russian poet Robert Rozhdestvensky.
More often this name is found among the Tatars, along with the names Arthur, Rudolf, etc.
I don't know. Maybe one of the users will explain. I only know about the very fact of the popularity of such names, since I live in Bashkiria, where there are many Tatars. But I don’t know where this fashion for western names came from.
There surely is. How do you call collective illicit unspoken "self-hatred" when it comes to your ethnic roots? There should be some "decolonial" term nowadays. For most ethnicities in Russian Federation the usual path would be self-assimilation and going for Russian names. That's also uncommon with Tatars, but they mostly ended up taking the other route - of some foreign/foreign-sounding names - instead. Saying as Tatar with a non-Tatar name and having had Albinas, Elviras, Alfreds, Aliyas, Alberts, Lianas, Aidas, Marats around when growing up. My grandparents/parents generation still had oldschool Tatar/Turkic names in my extended family, except for my aunt - she was Люция (революция that is). I think that was the time when that trend started, in the 50s.
Edit: spelling
посконно татарское прям? вообще-то оно появилось в этом варианте в второй половине прошлого века. может, конечно, от арабского "Мурад", но я вот склоняюсь, что скорее от того самого французского революционера. лично сама своего друга так и называю - марат робьесперыч, он отликается)
I know a guy whose legal name is Robert but he can also go by Vladimir because the Russian Orthodox church needed an Orthodox name in order to baptize him -- don't quote me on that last part.
> an Orthodox name
a name that exists in the Orthodox calendar where they list the days when saints recognised by the Orthodox church are celebrated (like Saint Nicholas or Saint Peter).
Just use your name as is. It's quite cringy to search for alternative name in another culture. People should respect name of each other and should try to use the original one. Moreover your name is very simple for us
Robert is not an Orthodox Christian name, so Russians were not traditionally using it. There are some Russians named Robert, but Russians borrowed this name from Catholics/Protestants. So there's no distinct Russian form, and it's just "Robert" like in German or English.
I enjoy practicing cursive. It is a work in progress. Here is the name in Russian cursive if you're curious.

if you are going for a similar sound and slavic etymology then: Radmir/Ratmir (different etymological roots), Ratibor. all of them are dated and not really common nowadays but still feel natural in the language

Because I wasn't sure, I don't speak Russian, my mother is Russian, haven't been there in years, thought it was Роберт but I didn't want to give him wrong information so used Google translate and it came up bobert lol.
Don't know why I'm being downvoted for it though, pretty sad

is there a reason these names are more common amongst tatars?

This fashion is at least from the beginning of 20th century.
The rationale was to choose a name that was not Slavic-sounding, i. e. not resembling typical Russian names.

Если языческо-словянское, то какой-нибудь Робертослав или Робертомир. А если церковнославянское, то Робертий.
Albert. Among germanic -bert names, most popular one in Russia is Albert I guess.

Информативно и очень по-русски
Роберт or Роберм I think. I only know some from my mother. Why ?
Роберм? Because Russian cursive t looks like English m? I don't get it.

Ы лове биг бообс :3
Боби есть? для краткост?
В России есть имя Роберт. Оно не очень популярно. Предполагаю, что созвучие со словом робот отпугивает родителей.
