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).

When President Obama got on the telephone with President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia last month, he was under the impression that they were finally close to wrapping up a long-delayed arms control treaty that he had originally expected to sign in December.

But to Mr. Obama’s surprise, Mr. Medvedev was not ready to sign off on a deal and raised issues that required more discussion, American officials said. As he hung up, the officials said, a frustrated Mr. Obama realized that the two sides were not as close as he had thought and sent negotiators back to the table.

The fitful effort to fashion a treaty that would be a signature achievement of his presidency has demonstrated the hurdles Mr. Obama faces in his drive to reset relations with Russia after years of tension.
