The non-profit sector is growing and expanding worldwide. In Russia it is still underdeveloped due to the reasons revealed in the paper. Non-profit organizations (NPOs) have particular features in each country (starting with their legal definition ending with their size and global ambitions). So they do in Russia. These specific traits have been summarized, reasoned and explained using the qualitative approach and inductive interpretivism. This will help to fill the gap in literature on NPOs in Russia and surely prove that the non-profit sector does exist in Russia and keeps developing. The revealed features may as well help to adopt in Russia the foreign experience of developing the non-profit sector. The results obtained can further scientific research on NPOs in Russia and help the government to provide the sector with specific and adequate support.
