REPRESENTATION OF CHARITY ACTIVITIES IN DOMESTIC RESEARCH SPACE

Abstract

Research into the theoretical constructs of charitable activity is of general scientific and practical importance. This is because, over the past 20 years, charitable activity in Russia has come to be viewed as a sociocultural phenomenon that contributes to the realization of spiritual revival and the growth of national self-awareness. When examining charitable activity as a historical cultural phenomenon, it is appropriate to draw on the works of scholars from the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and modern periods who have studied the phenomenon of philanthropy in Russia.
