The Foundation of the First President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin
The Foundation was established in Moscow in 2000 as an independent charitable organisation. Its primary aim is to create an environment which will help the younger generation to fulfil its creative potential. The Foundation therefore undertakes a broad range of educational, scientific, scholarly and cultural projects and programmes in support of talented young men and women. It strives to promote humanitarian and cultural cooperation and an open exchange of ideas and information between Russia and the West. The Foundation's priorities also include the encouragement of political, analytical and historical research into the changes undergone by Russia at the end of the 20th century and the role of the First President of the Russian Federation B. Yeltsin as one of the key figures in the contemporary world.
