Until 2006, "Open Russia" organized mainly projects for civic education of young people, democratization, and modernization of education, such as the New Civilization camp or the School of Public Policy. For some time, "Open Russia" suspended its activities in connection with the seizure of accounts and, as a result, lack of funding. However, in 2014, Mikhail Khodorkovsky announced the revival of the organization in the format of the Russian network movement, which was supposed to deal with the development of civil society in Russia, human rights activities, and exposing disinformation. Educational, human rights and media projects were created on the basis of the new "Open Russia"; in addition, the movement was involved in the 2016 parliamentary elections and the 2017 municipal elections in Moscow.
On May 27, 2021, a political organization announced self-liquidation. The management excluded all participants from the "Open Russia" in order to protect supporters from criminal prosecution.
