The article covers the feedback role in monitoring state bodies’ websites; analyses the data collected during the annual monitoring of the websites of federal executive government bodies, regional executive government bodies and federal courts; cites the data reflecting degrees of activity and effectiveness of interaction between the state bodies and the experts who carried out the monitoring (non-profit partnership The Institute for Information Freedom Development, St.-Petersburg). The authors consider such indicators as the number of the comments left by state bodies during the interaction, the level of informational openness before and after the interaction, and offer some ways of increasing interaction intensity with state bodies.
