The Republic of Academics: On the 30th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Russian Foundation for the Humanities

It is vital for Russian science to recreate the old and create new effective forms of self-organization, as well as mechanisms for interaction with public authorities. In the post-Soviet period, many things were destroyed. And, in the last decade, even much of what was created in the crisis conditions of the 1990s has been lost. In September 2024, the Russian Foundation for the Humanities (RFH), established in 1994 on the initiative of humanities scholars, would have turned 30 if it had not been liquidated in 2016. The experience of establishing and operating the RFH is currently an encouraging example and practically valuable.
