metadata.value: Evidence-based policy is aimed at overcoming subjectivity when making government decisions
  by means of expertise, using analytical materials at all stages of decision-making and
  executing processes, and involving internal and external experts. The main objectives of this
  research are to determine the opportunities and limitations of using evidence-based politics as
  an approach to making and promoting government decisions in Russia, to identify the attitude
  of decision makers to evidence-based policy tools and their application in Russian realities,
  and to obtain expert assessment of the state of evidence-based policy in the Russian public
  space. To implement these objectives, semi-standardized interviews with a target sample of
  37 respondents were conducted. The sample consisted of public administrators and experts
  from academic and scientific communities. This article reflects the results of interviewing of
  public administrators: their answers more clearly revealed the possibilities and limitations of
  using evidence-based policy tools in Russia. The analysis of government officials’ responses
  showed that, despite the public authorities’ demand for and interest in analytical data and
  analytical support, the dissemination of evidence-based politics in Russia had a number of
  limitations. The main obstacles are the low level of trust of public administrators in analytical
  materials and their authors, low quality rating of analytical services, lack of platforms for
  regular interaction between government officials and the expert community, and a focus on
  compliance with formal rather than substantive requirements while working with analytics
  providers. To overcome the obstacles in the interaction between experts and public administrators
  in making government decisions it is necessary to expand the practice of using expert
  support in making decisions and to increase their willingness to adjust to the requirements of
  government officials as the customers of analytical materials.
