The document proposes developing an electronic platform called "Electronic Veche" to enable direct democracy in Russia. It describes problems with the current representative democracy system, like representatives not adequately representing citizens' interests and lack of accountability. The platform would allow citizens to directly provide input, participate in qualifying tests, and vote on issues. It would also integrate crowdsourcing and crowdfunding to support initiatives. The document argues this system would maximize citizens' responsibility and motivation to improve their communities, while increasing transparency and eliminating corruption risks. It presents the platform as a way to realize direct democracy and unite citizens towards making Russia a world leader.

and will resurrect with Electronic Veche
3. From representative democracy to direct democracy
Representative democracy
Problems
The presence of the representative does not
guarantee his interest in effective safeguarding
the interests of citizens
There is no qualification requirement, ensuring
competence of the
representative
Representative is easily corrupted and hard to
control
The presence of an intermediary (agent) reduces
the responsibility of citizens for the results of
decisions
Representative is motivated not to develop the
territory entrusted to him, but to maintain the
status of the "people's choice", which guarantees
him a different kind of preferences
Direct democracy
Solutions
Every active citizen provides its own interests
independently, without intermediaries, and excessive
bureaucracy
Competence of each decision-making participant is
supported by mandatory qualification test of the
ability to think freely, take responsibility for their
actions and understand the laws of life in the society
Maximum transparency of decision-making
processes, unlimited structure and independence of
the participants eliminate the possibility of
corruption
The degree of responsibility of citizens and their
influence on the final result are of the maximum
The motivation of active citizens is a direct personal
interest in the development of the territory where
they live, run, and which tend to turn into "the best
place on Earth“
