505 million rubles for the redesign of the site about spending to overcome the crisis

Indeed, some irony is that the site talks about ... government spending to overcome the economic crisis.

The first version of the site, which tells about spending on the Federal Law №111-5 appeared, according to archive.org, in January 2009, just at the beginning of the economic crisis. And in July, it was decided that the site urgently needed a “redesign, designed to use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers find out where their money is being spent.” It sounds cynical as usual, isn't it? Let me remind you — it took half a billion rubles to redesign (painted right up to 2014, but 265 million were spent before January 2010). Interestingly, the most visible change made on this rather big money was the appearance of social networking icons on the site.
