Zusammenfassung:Voluntary organisations and volunteer action are new pheno‐mena in post‐Soviet Russia. Despite growing needs, cultural and socio‐economic barriers preclude their massive development. This is a report on a case study of a volunteer programme that succeeded in overcoming these barriers, and in recruiting large numbers of volunteers. Characteristics of the volunteers and organisational conditions that enabled this success were identified and lessons drawn.
