Moscow To Use Ethereum Blockchain In Public Vote Platform

Sometimes, blockchain adoption news comes from the most unbelievable places, in the most peculiar forms. For instance, Moscow - yes, _that_ Moscow, main city of Russia - [announced](https://www.mos.ru/news/item/33560073/) it will launch a blockchain-based project to help in local elections.

It's not an isolated project, it's part of a bigger platform, called Active Citizen. It even has its own [Github repository](https://github.com/moscow-technologies/ag-blockchain) which seems quite active. From the looks of it, this project may come in the form of smart contracts on top of the Ethereum blockchain, using Parity. 

The end of the press release is relatively epic, in terms of blockchain praise:

> If recognized as successful, then it can be replicated to other IT projects in Moscow, used in the city economy and the city as a whole. The technology of blockchain can be implemented everywhere, where high data reliability is required: in the economy and finance, in transactions with tangible and intangible assets, in the accounting system in public and private organizations.

(part of it was translated with Google translate, so excuse the obvious blunders).

I wouldn't draw any parallel between this news and the rather bellicose comments of Putin when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

Good article! It seems the blockchain is slowly making its way into all aspects of life and that could be a great thing.
Also, I just want to say a big THANKS for making the steem.supply! It is something I use almost every day!
Thanks!

Many valuable blockchain startups are coming from Russia, that's very true. But the public sector and the political message were always a bit cold towards blockchain.

That quoted paragraph from the press release is quite epic, and somewhat mirrors what I was thinking this morning about how blockchain technology will reveloutionize how we do everything in the future and all of the different ways it could be used. I may post on these ideas in the future.

Thank you @dragosroua !
