Baburin was born inSemipalatinsk,Kazakh SSR,Soviet Union, where his parents were studying at the time. His father, Nikolai Naumovich Baburin, was a teacher who came from a long line of Sibiryaks (ethnically Russian natives ofSiberia), and moved to Semipalatinsk fromTara, Omsk Oblast where Sergey later spent his childhood.

His paternal grandmother, Irina Sergeevna Baburina (née Koroleva), was a housewife.[5][6]
Sergey's mother, Valentina Nikolaevna Baburina (née Kulbedina), was a surgeon. Her father, Nikolai Petrovich Kulbedin (Kulbeda), came from aBelarusian family and moved to Semipalatinsk from Motol, a village in theIvanava District of theBrest Region in search of work. According to Baburin, some sources indicate that Nikolai belonged to a family ofpriests; he actively participated in the civil war fighting theBasmachi, made a political career, was arrested during theGreat Purge, but was released and then died on his way home. His wife, Anna Maksimovna Kulbedina (née Volkova), came from exiledCossacks, and spent all her life working as a children's nurse in a hospital.[5][7]
