Volunteering, as a relatively new form of manifesting social activity, but in demand in society, requires a comprehensive study. The main purpose of this research is assessment of socio-psychological features of volunteer activities and the problems of its implementation in the regions of Russia, including in conditions of increased social tension caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The article presents the results of the interregional sociological Internet survey of volunteers conducted by the authors (on the example of the regions of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation). Their analysis made it possible to obtain new evaluation and analytical information about the phenomenon being studied, to expand ideas about modern trends in the development of volunteering, including in the current situation of social tension; determine the vector of solving the existing problems in this area. Based on the results of the study, the authors propose practical recommendations to increase the effectiveness of volunteer activities in the regions, which can be integrated into the processes of making political and organizational and methodological decisions.
