A unique collection lies at the heart of this project: comparative views of the Moscow cityscape from the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Dynasty Foundation’s Moscow Time project aims to revive Moscow’s traditions and familiarize the general public with the way the city looked then and the way it looks now. 


From 2 to ...: An Illustrated Book (2007), is an unusual variation on the memoir genre—a photo album. Unique photos from Dmitry Zimin’s personal archive are interwoven with his biography. The book paints a portrait of the age through the story of Zimin and his family. Sketches of twentieth-century Russia’s great scientists and industrialists and memories of everyday life make this book a must for every reader. 

QUICK FACTS ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

In 2007, for the first time in Russian history, a private family foundation—Dynasty—was turned over to a board of trustees appointed from members of the public.
In 2010, the Foundation’s operating budget is 9,5 million dollars.
Each year, the Foundation runs 10 open grant competitions. Grants are awarded to young theoretical physicists, young mathematicians, high school math and science teachers, and others. We also have a grant competition for Science Museums of the Twenty-First Century.
Preeminent scientists from Russia’s leading centers for research in theoretical physics and mathematics join our country’s best teachers on the advisory boards that name the winners of our grant competitions.
