Web-sites of Russian government bodies

If you want to know some information about government bodies of the Russian Federation you may easy find it on the Internet. Each government body has its web-site that you can find either in the Catalogue ANO.RU or on the Server of Russian governmet bodies. You may also look in a very useful reference book if you click on www.informprom.ru. Here you`ll find all the necessary information about government bodies of the Russian Federation. The government structure, regional government bodies, arbitration tribunals, industrial associations, industrial union, addresses and phone numbers of the governors, business mass media — all is this electronic reference book.

However, unfortunately, web-sites of government bodies fail to perform its main function — cooperation with ordinary people. By 2010 all the government bodies will have been moved to the Internet that is why they should develop their on-line services. But today the only on-line service that is provided by the Federal Revenue Service is to file income statement. That is why it is the most popular web-site among other government bodies.

President -blogger

However the situation can change very soon. The president set an example after starting to blog. President Medvedev has said many times that he is an advanced user of the Internet: he often visits the site Gramota.ru, he is also interested in social nets such as Odnoklassniki .ru or Vkontakte.ru. No wonder, in autumn of 2008 his video blog appeared — the president posts here videos on different topics and users can leave their comments. Of course, you should understand that if your comment is undesirable or intolerable, a moderator will quickly dismiss it. So before leaving a comment you should think very well whether it is worth. Nevertheless, the blog is very popular. And it is well possible that not only the President has his own “home page”. In order to get in touch with ordinary people other officials, for example governors, may soon start to blog, too.
