ИСТИНА

Measuring of the policy impact of any analytical community requires the estimation of their activity in public sphere, particularly in different media. There is no direct correlation between the consequence of an analytical community and its publicity in Russia, but there are cases of positive experience in developing analytical projects in social media. One of the most significant cases in the project Otkrytoe Mnenie, represented on Facebook as an open group uniting all the sociologists exploring the public opinion in Russia. The activity of this group led to the specific changes in the methods of surveys and opened the public access to all the surveys of public opinion conducted during the Moscow mayor elections.
