Dynasty Foundation was Russia's only private funder of scientific research.[3] It was created by VympelCom founder Dmitry Zimin in 2002.[4] After the Russian Ministry of Justice added Dynasty to its list of foreign agents in 2015 due to Zimin's own contributions coming from his foreign bank account, the Foundation decided to shut down.[3]
