Summary
Modern Russian society, in contrast to the society of the USSR, comprehends new terms associated with a radical reorganization of the entire way of social and economic life. Blinov, who studied the history of this issue, considers that the appearance of private organizations, which are more similar to modern scientific foundations, dates back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries As examples, he considers the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Alexander von HumboldtStiftung, 1860); The Carl Zeiss Foundation (Carl Zeiss Stiftung 1889), and other organizations and writes that they received the greatest development in the United States, where more than one hundred of different charitable foundations were created in the 1900s. The Ledentsov society created the foundation for the appearance in Russia of new scientific organizations, and allowed many scientists to make significant discoveries, including those which are of world significance [15].
