The Foundation for effective policy

The Foundation for effective policy (FEP) is an independent, nonprofit organization established in 1995 by several private persons to specialize in political consulting, organizing and waging election campaigns, communicating with mass media, making and running internet media projects.  


FEP renders information and analytical services to state, public and commercial bodies that try to level up efficiency of its information policy, managing and carrying on an election and information campaigns, gives information and analytic support to media projects, builds up and maintains Internet information resources.

Elaborated technology matured through number of large campaigns at all Russian and Russian regional levels works by recruiting experts and scholars of high qualification those who had started information and analytical activity in new Russia (The information agency «Postfactum», 1989-1994; The News agency «RIA-Novosty», 1990-1992; the project definition and then running of the renovated magazine «Ogonyek», 1994-1995).

 Since 1995 FEP has been monitoring by itself Russian federal and regional press and electronic mass media.

Since 1996 we have been running the research program to estimate influence of mass media and ideological stereotypes on public opinion and mass movement.

Since 1999 we’ve been conducting this program together with The Public opinion foundation.

Since 1996 FEP is the basic center of policy information analysis for the ring of presidential structures.

Since 1997 FEP is a proved leader in the development of information and policy related part of Russian Internet segment.

The president of The Foundation for effective policy is Gleb O. Pavlovsky.

Listening to Vladimir Putin trying to salvage his career as his base of support seems to be crumbling around him, the Russian prime minister sounds more and more like all of those Arab dictators just before their own people turned on them in angry revolt.

'Stability is something that can only be achieved through hard work, by being open to change and ready for long-overdue, well-planned and well-calculated reforms,' Putin declared in an online campaign essay this month.

 So said Syrian President Bashar Assad almost exactly a year ago, just before his own country dissolved into protest, chaos and slaughter.

Russia released a preliminary estimate for 2011 GDP growth on Tuesday - and at 4.3 per cent, it looks pretty healthy. The figure crept ahead of analyst expectations, buoyed by a strong recovery in consumer demand over the year, while 2010 growth was revised upwards, also to 4.3 per cent. Renaissance Capital was cautiously bullish, calling the forecast 'reason for a (modest) celebration'.
