> Quote - I Thought that the Duma was the Parliament under the Czar..;)Not only under the Czars:
"A Duma (Russian: Ду́ма) 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 (City Duma)."
