Third sector and civil society in Russia, problems and of formation and development

The author analyzes non-profit non-governmental organizations created by the people as a response to current social problems. This is the only way, in which the civil society is formed i.e. from the grass-root level. According to I. Gavrilova, public involvement into social activities fosters the process of political socialization, increases civil responsibility and strengthens democracy in the country. The article addresses the problems of the third sector in Russia, the reasons of its comparative weakness and the prospects of its further development. The author states that the public system works more efficiently when the third sector is involved into decision making, and this is possible on the basis of wider consensus between the key actors of the current society – the state, private business and the third (non-governmental) sector.
