The study analyzes legal and organizational aspect of development of Russian open data sector and formulates legal, technological, and infrastructural problems. According to the study data, incomprehensiveness of innovation transfer leads to isolation of the open data development direction thus failing to achieve expected result, which is usage of demanded and sound open data based on governmental information for development of applications and services demanded by business and/or wide public. Having performed content analysis for Russian cities' informational resources, we conclude that most cities have not even begun publishing open data.
