On the 9th December, 2008 in the "ROSBALT" press-centre a presentation of the joint project of Transparency International – Russia and Youth Human Rights Movement "Anti-corruption WebRoom" (ASK), which is aimed at reducing the level of everyday corruption, took place.

Project was presented by Elena Panfilova, the director of Transparency International – Russia, and Ivan Ninenko, the "Anti-corruption WebRoom" project manager, participant of the YHRM, member of the "Legal Team".

Ivan Ninenko: "We were building and building, and finally we have built it. Today we officially launch the ASK portal. There's a lot more to be built, but we are going to continue this process together with you".

The web-site concept supposes the activity of participants in its further filling. Users will have an opportunity to share their experiences in the sphere of solving difficulties with bureaucrats with the help of legal methods, to publish new forms and documentation, as well as fill in the information about the authorities in their region.

Ivan Ninenko: "As a result, you won't have to look for hours for documentation necessary to convince a bureaucrat to sign. ASK is created for citizens who face a bureaucrat, don't want to give a bribe and prefer to be prepared to such a communication. By registering and writing about your experience you save time and nerves for yourself and other people".

At the web-site you will find useful instructions for actions in different situations, document forms, which are needed to follow this or that procedure; important laws on the activity of authorities; addresses, phones and timetables of different instances.
