OBS

A Duma is any of various representative assemblies in modern Russia and Russian history. The State Duma in the Russian Empire and Russian Federation corresponds to the lower house of the parliament. It is also the term for a council to early Russian rulers (Boyar Duma), as well as for city councils in Imperial Russia (Municipal dumas), and city and regional legislative bodies in the Russian Federation. The term comes from the Russian word (dumat), "to think" or "to consider". Boyar Duma was an advisory council to the grand princes and tsars of Muscovy. The Duma was discontinued by Peter the Great, who transferred its functions to the Governing Senate in 1721. However, the Duma would be re-introduced later in Russian history by Tsar Nicholas II, in the pre-Revolutionary period (1905), with the aid of his many advisors such as Pyotr Stolypin, amongst others.

OBS

La Douma est le nom de la chambre basse du parlement en Russie. Pour la Fédération de Russie on parle plus précisément de Douma d’État, pour la différencier des Doumas régionales ou de la Douma impériale. Le terme douma, signifie, «penser». Historiquement, la Douma était le conseil consultatif des grands princes de la Russie kiévienne et des tsars de la Russie impériale. La première Douma d’État de l'Empire russe fut convoquée le 27 avril 1906(10 mai dans le calendrier grégorien) au Palais de Tauride à Saint-Pétersbourg par le tsar Nicolas II. Cette Douma fut instaurée à la suite des événements de 1905, et en particulier du dimanche rouge. Cette concession accordée par le pouvoir fait de la Russie une monarchie constitutionnelle mais non parlementaire, puisque le ministre, nommé par le Tsar, ne dépend pas de l'Assemblée.
