Under the pressure of the Russian Revolution of 1905, on August 6, 1905 Tsar Nicholas II issued a manifesto about the convocation of the Duma, initially thought to be an advisory organ.
It was dissolved in the course of the Russian Revolution.
The State Duma (Russian: Государственная дума (Gosudarstvennaya Duma), common abbreviation: Госдума (Gosduma)) in the Russian Federation is the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia (parliament), the upper house being the Federation Council of Russia.
Because of the Russians' dominance in the affairs of the union, the RSFSR failed to develop some of the institutions of governance and administration that were typical of public life in the other republics: a republic-level communist party, a Russian academy of sciences, and Russian branches of trade unions, for example.
Russian is proclaimed the state language, although the republics of the federation are allowed to establish their own state languages for use alongside Russian.
Other parties retaining seats in the State Council (Gosudarstvennaya Duma), the lower house of the legislature, are the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and the nationalistic Rodina("Motherland") Block.
