Overview

INDEM Foundation (Информатика для демократии — "Informatics for Democracy") is a Russian non-governmental research and think-tank organization based in Moscow. It operates as an independent analytical center producing applied political, social and information-policy research, and it maintains a public web presence at indem.ru. The foundation is best known in Russian public life for its long-running monitoring of political and administrative processes, including studies of corruption, electoral behavior and the development of civil society. Because it is a research foundation rather than a commercial manufacturer or retailer, its "products" are studies, reports, indices and expert commentary rather than consumer goods. Its work has been cited by Russian and international media, academic researchers and policy analysts. The organization is registered in Russia and its activities are conducted primarily in the Russian language for a domestic audience, with some materials and citations circulating internationally. Ownership and governance details are not publicly documented in the available evidence, and the foundation should be treated as an independent non-profit research entity rather than a listed or state-owned company.
