[open-government] Russian Open Data: Concrete Outcomes

Actually all procurement data available via FTP website -
ftp://ftp.zakupki.gov.ru as anonymous user or as user free:free

This is data for procurement procedures, protocols and contracts. It's
hundreds gigabytes unpacked.

I think that Russian government provides even more data than EU since all
procedures and contracts with price more than 100 000 rubles (3 500 USD)
published and we have a lot of detailed requirements for this type of data.
For example it's linkable to budgets since we have comprehensive all-Russia
budget planning and every budget of each region and locality has unique
budget code and all government and municipal customers forced to use
all-Russia procurement website. So it's quite unique even for Russia.

We have services like SPARK Marketing (http://www.marketing.interfax.ru/) -
it's market analysis services, Contur Focus -
http://focus.kontur.ru(business research), 3akupki (
3akupki.ru) - tender alerting services and many and many more.

We have a few civil society projects like Rosspending  -
http://www.rosspending.ru - also based on open procurement data.
