Politics and civil activism discussion group

Time has come when we can finally discuss not only the presence or absence of the civil society in Russia, but also its characteristics, composition, priorities and strength. The Russian society is no longer passive and indifferent, but its potential has not become clear yet.

• Could a large number of “small actions” bring about the fundamental change in the Russian society?
• Have the changes that could make the Russian civil society a real force in the development of political competition, improvement of public management and the protection of human rights in the country emerged in it?
• What critical threshold is to be overcome by the civil activity in the country to create practical and widespread mechanisms of civil control over the activities of the power agencies and civil participation in decision-making?
