Categories / Capital/Superior and Central State Institutions

STATE DUMA (1905-17), the lower house of the Russian Parliament. It was established on 6 August 1905 as a deliberating representative body for preliminary discussions of legislative proposals. In accordance with the Manifesto of 17 October 1905, it received limited legislative rights (the right of veto was later given to the reformatted State Assembly in 1906). It was summoned on four occasions (the so-called first - fourth State Dumas). The First and the Second State Dumas were dissolved prematurely as a result of an inflexible opposition to the Government. After the dissolution of the Second State Duma a new election law, which considerably limited the electorate, was ratified on 3 June 1907. The State Duma consisted of the General Assembly, existing commissions (dealing with the budget, finances, State income and expenditure accounts, requests, editing, libraries, and executive activities), and provisional commissions. The State Duma's proceedings were directed by the President, which was elected for a one year term at a closed ballot and could report directly to the Emperor. The State Duma's proceedings took place at the Tauride Palace. The State Duma representatives of St. Petersburg were included V.K. von Anrep (Octobrist, third calling), A.A. Baryshnikov (progressive, fourth calling), S.P. Belyaev (Octobrist, third calling), L.A. Velikhov (cadet, fourth calling), M.M. Vinaver (cadet, first calling), I.V. Hessen (cadet, second calling), M.D. Kalugin (progressive, fourth calling), N.I. Kareev (cadet, first calling), E.I. Kedrin (cadet, first calling), A.M. Kolyubakin (cadet, third calling, excluded in 1909), N.N. Kutler (second calling), G.G. Lerche (Octobrist, third calling), P.N. Milyukov (cadet, third and fourth callings), V.D. Nabokov (cadet, first calling), L.I. Petrazhitsky (cadet, first calling), M.I. Petrunkevich (cadet, first calling), F.I. Rodichev (cadet, first - fourth callings), P.B. Struve (cadet, second calling), A.I. Shingarev (cadet, second - fourth callings). In the days of the February 1917 Revolution, the Provisional Committee of the State Duma attempted to control revolutionary activities, and later established the Provisional Government. The State Duma was dissolved officially on 6 October 1917 as a result of election for the Constituent Assembly.
