The proposed article is devoted to the activities of an influential organization of Russian entrepreneurs-the Moscow Stock Exchange Societywhich played an important role in the economic, and since the beginning of the 20th century-and in the political life of pre-revolutionary Russia. In the conditions of autocracy, social and political activity was very difficult. Therefore, the Moscow Exchange Society has become an important means of social and political selfrealization of Moscow entrepreneurs in the sphere of charity, in the development of national science, culture and education. A special place in this was the promotion of commercial education, which trained personnel for the trade, industrial, banking, financial and management sectors. Leaders and members of the Moscow Exchange Society took part in the guardianship of existing educational institutions and created new commercial schools. Commercial education not only provided the developing Russian economy with the right personnel but was also seen by the leadership of the Moscow Stock Exchange Society as a tool for the formation of a new bourgeois economic and management elite. Documentary sources, pre-revolutionary and modern historiography were used in the preparation of the article.
