Russia without fools soon

An online database listing some of the more absurd red tape initiatives by Russian officials is being created as part of President Dmitry Medvedev’s Big Government project, RIA Novosti reports.

The portal, entitled “Russia without fools,” will be launched on January 15. Online users will be able to add information on controversial initiatives to the database.

Medvedev proposed creating a database to accumulate information about the most controversial bureaucratic proposals and initiatives of Russian officials during his state-of-the-nation address in late December 2011.
