The Russian Red Cross Society (Russian: Российский Красный Крест, romanized: Rossiyskiy Krasny Krest, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskʲɪj 'krasnɨj 'krʲest]) is a volunteer-led, humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief and education in Russia. It is the designated national affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

It is now particularly concerned with problems relating to undocumented migrants, and, with the help of the international federation, provides food parcels and support to people who are detained.[4]

It was established by the order of Emperor Alexander II. Grand Duchess, Elizaveta Fedorovna was responsible for the organisation in Moscow.[citation needed]

There were 109 Red Cross schools of nursing in Russia in 1914. 25,000 Sisters of Mercy were trained between 1914 and 1916. The society ran short courses for nurses and sanitary workers in Moscow in 1919 and provided support for mentally ill soldiers.[5]
