Initiator: Alexey Navalny, Anti-Corruption Foundation

Fate: On February 25, 2015, the federal working group recognized the development of the corresponding regulatory legal act inappropriate. According to its participants, the proposed changes contradict the Russian Constitution. At the same time, the expert opinion states that the Russian Federation agreed to Article 20 of the Convention in full back in 2006. This statement has previously been disputed. The working group only recommended an analysis of the current anti-corruption legislation. It is worth noting that the final decision on the Open Government initiative could only be made the second time - at the first meeting it was not possible to gather a quorum.

In the spring of 2015, supporters of the initiative attempted to submit to the State Duma a proposal to ratify Article 20 through regional parliaments.

Initiator: anonymously

Fate: At a meeting of the federal working group on June 10, 2015, the idea of ​​such elections was supported. Despite the negative assessment of the initiative by representatives of the RFU, the Ministry of Sports and the All-Russian Fans Organization, the expert group supported the idea and recommended holding a rating vote. “It is proposed to make the result of online voting optional, but advisory, so that sports officials are aware of their responsibility for making decisions and explain their position in the event of a choice different from the result of online voting,” the decision published on the initiative’s page states. , the group’s conclusion is of a recommendatory nature and the RFU will be able to independently accept or not accept the working group’s proposals.

Initiator: Russian Trade Union of Railway Workers and Transport Builders

Fate: On June 10, the Working Group recognized it as inappropriate to include in the Labor Code Russian Federation changes proposed by the public initiative

There is a similar petition on the People's Initiative portal of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. To date, she has received 1,492 votes out of the 20,000 needed.

The mechanisms of the Russian system launched in 2013 by decree of the President public initiative» (ROI) need improvement, especially at the regional and municipal levels. In particular, we are talking about the possible simplification of registration of discussion participants. And authorities should be obliged to take into account petitions and suggestions of citizens in their work, or openly argue why they cannot be taken into account. Such conclusions were reached by participants at a meeting of the Council for Interaction with Civil Society Institutions under the Chairman of the Federation Council. When modernizing this system, it is necessary to take into account the practices of regions in creating services for feedback from citizens, says Russian Minister for Open Government Mikhail Abyzov. To protect the rights of citizens during public discussions, the Open Government and the Public Chamber intend to initiate a number of changes to the legislation.

Every citizen of Russia over 18 years of age registered on the public services portal can put forward their own initiative or support any other on the ROI portal. For a federal initiative to be considered, it must receive 100 thousand votes in favor within a year. Initiatives at the federal level that have received sufficient support from citizens are submitted to a federal-level expert working group headed by Russian Minister Mikhail Abyzov. The threshold for considering initiatives at the regional level is also 100 thousand for regions with a population of over 2 million, for the rest - 5% of the region's population. For municipalities - 5% of their population.

Since the launch of the portal, 13 petitions at the federal level have received the required number of votes; all of them were considered by an expert working group, and the conclusions based on the results of public discussion were sent to the authorities to be taken into account in their ongoing work. As for initiatives at the regional and municipal level, none of them were considered by expert working groups at the appropriate level.

It may be worth thinking about improving the classification system for public initiatives, to understand to what extent the conclusions of the expert working group are binding and final, and how the mechanism of public initiative is or is not included in the legislative process. It is worth thinking about the formation of a unified electronic feedback system between authorities and civil society institutions and increasing citizens’ confidence in the effectiveness of the electronic voting system,” said Nikolai Fedorov.

At the federal level, the system as a whole works, but citizens do not yet have the opportunity to monitor how their proposals are taken into account in the work of government bodies, agrees Mikhail Abyzov.

According to the main proposals that the federal group developed and sent to the authorities executive power, we monitor the quality of their execution. However, there are some problems. Not all proposals are taken into account in a timely manner and government decisions are developed on their basis. I agree that we need to think about a mechanism, perhaps, for mandatory consideration of those proposals that are being developed,” the minister said.

To implement the mechanism at the regional level, according to him, all information opportunities have also been created, but so far at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities, the ROI and petition institutes have not really started working. The reason, according to the minister, is that the system at this level provides for mandatory identification of citizens through an electronic system digital signature(EDS), and this is difficult and expensive for an ordinary citizen. This system needs to be modernized and made closer to consumer needs common man, taking into account the experience of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in creating services for receiving feedback from citizens, says Mikhail Abyzov. As an example, he cited the Moscow service “Active Citizen” and the Moscow region “Dobrodel”, within which the opinions of citizens are taken into account according to a different, simpler model.

These systems are more comfortable for ordinary people. Moscow and the Moscow region have created a good public infrastructure that properly supports the high-quality implementation of initiatives, proposals and comments that are collected. The popular vote itself and the collection of proposals will not work if people do not see how the government takes into account and for what reason it rejects supported initiatives. Taking these practices into account, we need to look at what changes can be made to the ROI system; perhaps, for regional and municipal modules, change the registration parameters of the main participants. It is necessary for the leaders of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to be more actively involved in this work so that the most significant issues can be brought to public discussion without hesitation and receive the very feedback for which the Open Government system was created,” the minister believes.

Regional officials need to be trained in the use of such services, Mikhail Abyzov emphasized. He recalled that earlier it was decided to create on the basis of the university government controlled Moscow Government courses to train regional representatives to work with such systems. At the same time, regions can be offered a ready-made “cloud” solution, which will allow them to avoid additional costs for the implementation and operation of electronic services.

The main costs here will be associated with the organization of the civil service and the creation of a different culture of public administration. Today we are sometimes focused on answering automatically, “for show,” but here we will need to respond and clearly indicate how the proposal is implemented. Today, only a few regions are able to do this efficiently: Moscow, the Moscow region, Tatarstan and some other constituent entities of the Russian Federation,” said Mikhail Abyzov.

But to work effectively with citizens, we need to move in all directions: not only use new technologies, but also “reach out” to citizens personally, the minister emphasized. Only in this way, in his opinion, can the quality of decisions made be significantly changed.

In order to ensure that the rights of citizens are protected during various public discussions and that their opinions are taken into account by the authorities, it is planned to make changes to the legislation.

In order to build a more effective system, the Public Chamber and I propose to take the initiative to introduce additions and clarifications to the laws on public control and on the Public Chamber in order to provide for the mandatory nature of certain norms and procedures that would better protect the interests of citizens during public discussions,” - said Mikhail Abyzov.

Secretary of the Public Chamber Alexander Brechalov, in turn, also noted the importance of working at the regional level, especially with citizens’ appeals. He recalled that federal legislation has rules that regulate the work of officials in responding to citizens’ requests. Meanwhile, as the practice of direct lines with the President of the Russian Federation shows, complaints are brought to the level of the head of state when people appealed to all officials at the regional level, but did not wait for a solution to the problem.

The Public Chamber receives more than 25 thousand requests every year. Almost 70–80% are proposals and problems that can definitely be solved at the regional level. My colleagues and I have included the quality of handling citizen requests as one of our key performance indicators. I believe that together we need to strengthen our work in this direction,” said the secretary of the Public Chamber.

The main priorities of the Open Government system were defined in the May decrees of the President. Behind last years, according to Mikhail Abyzov, together with State Duma, the Federation Council and the regions managed to create the foundation of an infrastructure that allows taking into account the opinions of citizens on a wide range of government decisions and the problems discussed.

Great news - the official website of public initiatives is now operational. Let me remind you that this is a real tool that can bring a public initiative to the masses and turn it into a bill. I remember how at the beginning of last year, together with other active participants in the network space, I gathered under the initiative “on foreign agents,” which was later brought to the attention of the president and became the basis for a bill that today sounds extremely relevant.

Today, Putin gave an interview to the German media on this matter. ITAR-TASS reports:

“There are 654 non-governmental organizations in the Russian Federation that, as it has now turned out, receive money from abroad. 654 organizations are a whole network throughout the Russian Federation, including all its regions,” the head of state said.

He admitted that until recently he did not know how much money comes from abroad for the activities of such organizations. “In just four months after we adopted the relevant law, the accounts of these organizations received money from abroad, can you imagine how much money came in? You can’t imagine, and I didn’t know: 28 billion 300 million rubles- that's almost a billion dollars. 855 million rubles - through diplomatic missions. These are organizations that are engaged in domestic political activities,” Putin stated.

Can you imagine? 28 billion 300 million rubles for anti-Russian activities - promoting juvenile justice, financing biased liberal media, financing odious political figures.

To prevent this from happening, a real instrument has appeared through which society can influence the situation in the country.

The site has a simple, memorable address:

I had to take care of this issue. In fact, everything is quite simple - either come to the local office with a passport, or order a letter with a code by mail to your registration address. I chose the second option.

The reason for officially checking data is quite clear - today there are entire companies specializing in working with “bots”. And they are engaged not only in pumping up Twitter, but also in voting. Therefore, in order to avoid this infection, a completely logical data validation is introduced - only real citizens can put forward an initiative and/or vote for it.

The principle of operation is clearly depicted in the corresponding subsection of the site:

The rules for considering initiatives have been announced. Based on the experience of collecting signatures, they are quite real.

Properly divided into levels - municipal, regional and federal - with different numbers of required signatures.

All that remains is to check this site in operation. In general, the idea of ​​​​creating a single center for public initiatives is assessed positively, especially due to the fact that registration on the State Services website is required to confirm your identity. No falsifications, bots or other attributes typical for mass projects.

Did you want transparency? Receive and sign. Under the initiative you and your loved ones need, of course.
