Why is meant by duma? what does it refers to? |
|
Answer» A duma is a Russian assembly with advisory or legislative functions. The term comes from the Russian verb думать (dumat') meaning "to think" or "to consider". ... The Russian Provisional Government dissolved the last IMPERIAL State Duma (the fourth Duma) in 1917 during the Russian Revolution. Unrest was growing, so as a partial CONCESSION to the people, the Czar allowed the creation of a representative legislative body CALLED the Duma, which existed from 1906 to 1917. Though the Duma was designed to give the people a voice in the government, it largely FAILED to REACH that goal. |
