Objectives The purpose of the study is to find weaknesses of the Russian CSR model, identify areas of its development and give practical recommendations for further improvement of the corporate social responsibility strategy. Methods In the research, I employed a comparative analysis of data from open sources, segmentation of data and interpretation of findings of various economic studies. Results The paper presents a brief review of opinions of foreign economists, highlights principal characteristics of foreign models and their weaknesses, refines specifics of promising projects of Russian corporate social responsibility.
