title = "The diversificaiton of Russian scholarly publishing, 1995-2005",
abstract = "Russian scholarly publication has doubled since 1995, led by private scholarly imprints, which have tripled. The increase in the publication of monographs, in which private publishers now dominate, is particularly noticeable. The majority of private scholarly publication is in history and literary studies, but private presses account for a relatively larger share of publications in philosophy and religion. Scholarly publishing is to a considerable extent funded by a robust network of government and private foundations.",

note = "Funding Information: The Russian government provides publication grants from a number of sources, the most important of which is the Russian State Humanities Fund, which has funded a very large number of scholarly publications.6 The Ministry of Education and Science provides grants through its INO-Tsentr (Informatsiia, Nauka, Obrazovanie [Information, Scholarship, Education]), as does the Federal Agency for the Press and Mass Communication through its “Culture of Russia” program.7 Other levels of government–some provinces and cities–also provide money for publication, but do not focus specifically on scholarly books. The MacArthur Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation and, until it was shut down, the Russian Soros Foundation have been important foreign sources of funding; many other foreign foundations and institutions have provided at least one-time publishing subventions. Russians, too, have established foundations, many of which provide publishing grants: the Likhachev Fund, the Nabokov Fund, the Pushkin Fund, and the Union of Eurasian Scholars (in effect a foundation to support Eurasian schol- ars), to name a few. One of the most critical foundations is the International Foundation “Democracy,” established by President Yeltsin in 1996 and headed by Aleksandr Iakovlev until his death in October 2005. It has provided very large grants to Materik and other publishing houses to finance the publication of documents on twentieth-century Russian history, but because it is not a government-funded institution it must raise its money from Russian and, especially, foreign contributors.8",
