[open-government] A lot of new Russian news and open government projects

Mon Mar 4 18:31:05 UTC 2013

Hi Ivan,

It is really facinating. I'm sure it will help to increase transparency,
accountability and citizens' quality of life.
Is there any concrete outcome of publishing open data?

Thanks
Best Regards
Eda
