The book “Philanthropy in Russia: Public Attitudes and Participation” was released this year. Free to download, the book provides some useful information for those interested in Russia’s philanthropic sector. It examines the involvement of Russian citizens in various philanthropic practices, including their participation in and use of services offered by community foundations. It also presents the results of public opinion surveys on participation in charitable activity in Russia, analyses Russian philanthropic trends and looks at public attitudes regarding interaction between the State and organisations that provide charitable services. The book results from collaboration between the CerPhi and the State University, Higher School of Economics (Civil Society Monitoring) in Russia and aims to encourage further research on Russian philanthropy.
