Alexei Navalny launched the RosPil project in December 2010. The project helped identify suspicious public procurement contracts and get them canceled through complaints, inspections, and court cases.

The project aimed to make the opaque and highly technical world of public procurement understandable to ordinary people. Volunteers, experts, and users helped uncover questionable tenders, while the project’s lawyers analyzed the documents and pushed officials and regulators to respond. Funded through public donations, RosPil became one of the key projects that later evolved into the Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF). It demonstrated that investigations could lead to direct action — not only exposing corruption, but also stopping fraudulent contracts and forcing the system to react. RosPil’s legal work helped prevent corrupt government contracts worth more than 70 billion rubles.
