The purpose of the School is to foster the development of a civil society in Russia based on the rule of law. A stable democratic society is beginning to emerge in Russia. But there is a long way to go and there are inevitable setbacks. The School is devoted to awakening the younger generation to democratic ideas and new ways of thinking. Civil Society Moscow School of Political Studies The work of the School makes a major contribution towards supporting the development of Russia along a path which is in the interests of the Russian people, of Russia's partners abroad and of those businesses committed to the Russian market. In a letter of congratulations President Putin wrote «All who participate in the School's programmes acquire not only knowledge, but new and reliable friends as well. Today the School is a centre for mutual enlightenment, for strengthening the values of democracy and public service, for nourishing respect for the law, and for developing new ideas».
