An important constituent of the legacy of Olympic and Paralympic Games 2014 is the volunteer legacy. It includes the legal base and the management structure of the volunteer movement in Russia. There is a network of volunteer organizations. 25000 volunteers have gained their volunteer experience, skills of communication and teamwork, social activities and socially useful functions, new knowledge and skills. There are trained volunteer organizers; informational, material and teaching resources. A change in the attitude of people to volunteering is taking place. There are a system of values and a social status of a volunteer in the contemporary Russian society. Among the volunteer legacy of the Games one can identify both positive (aspiration of many volunteers to continue their volunteering, the positive experience of such an activity, an existing organizational structure etc.) and negative aspects (loopholes in legislation, drawbacks of some aspects of the set-up of volunteer activities, “top-down” nature of volunteering initiatives, priority of one side - event volunteering, irregularity of involvement into volunteering activities of different social groups). The key elements of the volunteer legacy of the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2014 in Sochi are stipulated in the paper.
