‘Russia without Idiots’: Bureaucrats to be named and shamed online

Supporters of President Medvedev are to create a web portal called "Russia without Idiots."

The project has the backing of the government and is designed to draw attention to mistakes and poor decisions made by civil servants.

Any citizen will be able to register on the portal and record their negative experiences of the Russian civil service.

The information on the site will be used either to effect changes to the law, or to take measures against those civil servants who are named.

An interactive map displaying which areas have the highest concentration of administrative problems will also be going live.

Meanwhile, presidential hopeful Vladimir Putin has also published his election platform on a new website launched today by his campaign team. Putin outlines his personal vision, from fighting poverty at home, to boosting Russia's image and status abroad.
