Quick questions

[liesoverthesea.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone! I was wondering, what would be the best way to translate the term "think tank" into Russian? I've heard фабрика мысли used to describe it-- is this a fitting translation? Also, what's the best way to say "public policy center" in Russian?

Thanks!

"Фабрика мысли" is OK, but people tend to say "мозговой центр" more often.

Public Policy Center would be something like "центр государственной политики".

"Фабрика мысли" is not OK yet, but it could be soon - if the standards of literary translation to Russian continue to decline.

"Центр публичной политики" - о государстве там нет ни слова.

I would love to remind that the working language of this community is English. It is OK to post or comment in Russian, but you are expected to provide an English translation.
