«I would be happy if Dynasty's activities could in any way contribute to developing conditions for healthy and continuous competition of human talents in Russian science, business and politics. We should create a certain legal and moral environment, a platform where such a competition might take place. The name of this platform is a “liberal democratic society”. My work in the Dynasty Foundation is my contribution to constructing this platform».

Dmitry Zimin,
Founder and President of the Dynasty Foundation

The Dynasty Foundation is one of the first family charitable foundations in our country. From the very beginning of its activities, the Foundation focused on supporting intellectual, talented youth.

All programs of our Foundation are aimed at developing science and education, preventing brain drain, and creating conditions for intelligent people to live and work in Russia.

In 2005-2005 several new foundation programs were successfully launched. These include the first popular fundamental science website elementy.ru, public physics lessons, and the all-Russia competition among physics and mathematics teachers.

One of our most important activity areas of 2006 is connected with the popularization of science: we are launching a largescale publishing project which shall result in creation of a library of the best books which have made a noticeable impact in popularization of natural-science and humanitarian knowledge.

Elena Chernyshkova,
Executive Director of the Dynasty Foundation
