The paper discusses the problems of interaction between the government and business community, the difficulties of development of social activity and responsibility of small and medium-sized businesses in Russia. Small and medium-sized businesses are today the basis of political, economic and social stability of Russian society. The development of entrepreneurship is a guarantee of permanent tax revenues to budgets of all levels, creation of additional jobs, and saturation of the market with goods and services, and formation of civil society institutions. The focus of our research is the formation and development of mechanisms for the social responsibility of entrepreneurs, a constructive dialogue between the government and business community that directly affects the performance indicators of enterprises, their production and innovation activity. The example of the republican branch of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (non-profit association of Russian entrepreneurs) shows the mechanisms of interaction between state bodies and non-profit organizations. The empirical basis was the results of sociological research which is systematically conducted since 2007 with the aim of analyzing the practice of Russian business participation in social programs by the Association of Russian Managers, the Association of Independent Directors and the independent Institute for Social Policy with the support of the Ford Foundation. The results of sociological studies conducted by the Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan on socio-economic monitoring in 2013 with the purpose to reach an objective assessment of small enterprise activities in Tatarstan were also used. The study was conducted using a questionnaire survey of small business representatives on their financial, economic and social development. A qualitative strategy was carried out by the authors of the paper using the method of formalized interviews. They interviewed 16 people - representatives of small and medium-sized businesses of the Republic of Tatarstan (the cities of Kazan, Nizhnekamsk, Zelenodolsk).
