Ivanovo, a regional centre northeast of Moscow, was the venue for the 5th session of the Free People Forum with support from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. Even though it was held on a week day the event attracted about 30 participants including a number a journalists.
The theme of the day was Libertarian ideas: Theory & practice for the Ivanovo Region and sessions included discussions of libertarianism as a legal philosophy and the evolution of the movement in Russia.
Following the discussion and Q&A section, LPR monthly Atlant, Ideas for the Free Society CDs and a number of libertarianism-themed books were distributed among the audience for free as usual.
