This article discusses the contemporary state of philanthropic foundations in Russia. It traces the evolution of Russian philanthropy from the Imperial period through the Soviet times and the upheavals of the 1990s to today. Historically, foundations lacked a legal footing, not only under socialism but also during the Tsarist Empire, and while a new legal framework was introduced in the 1990s, the political and economic turmoil of the decade prevented the emergence of notable foundations until the turn of the millennium. Since then, the Russian foundation sector has steadily been growing, featuring foundations related to large business fortunes and corporations as well as successful fundraising and local community foundations. Particularly, foundations tied to business interests and corporations still face expectations to contribute to social and other public services in the tradition of Soviet-era state enterprises. An important difference between Russian and American and other Western foundations is that Russian foundations typically do not have endowments, but operate on ongoing pass-through funds by the founder.

The Second Russian Revolution, an event that took place between 1989 and 1992 and led to a radical transformation of social and economic relations and the political system in Russia, the separation of the Union republics, is compared to four major revolutions of the past: the American, French, Chinese, and First Russian revolutions. Particular attention is paid to two concepts of modern political economy: first, binding commitments, the impossibility of which in the context of power struggles explains why attempts to reform the political system on the eve of revolutions were unsuccessful; second, coordinated action by large numbers of individuals in the absence of common interests or any organizing structure. This helps to understand the mechanism of the events of 1989—1992, which is poorly described in the logic of group interests, and even less so in terms of class interests.
