27th April 1906: The Russian Empire's State Duma meets for the first time
The Duma was to form the lower house of a new legislative assembly. It was proposed by Sergei Witte, the Chairman of the Russian Council of Ministers, in response to the wave of violence that culminated in the Russian Revolution of 1905. Tsar Nicholas II formally declared the creation of the Duma when he issued the October Manifesto later that year.
Elections for the Duma took place in March 1906 and permitted men over the age of 25 to vote. Having been boycotted by a number of parties on the left, the election resulted in a centre-left parliament of which the moderate Constitutional Democrats held the most seats.
Witte, the architect of the October Manifesto, was forced to resign on 22 April and the following day the Tsar issued the Russian Constitution of 1906, otherwise known as the F...

The First Russian Parliament and Constitution | The Duma (1906-1917)
Consider Supporting HoH: https://www.patreon.com/HouseofHistory
It’s always interesting to delve a little bit in the democratic history of a country. In autocratic Russia, it was very short-lived. Following the Russian-revolution of 1905 a “constitution” and “parliament” were established… and yes, those quotation marks definitely belong there. The quote of parliament’s chairman seems fitting, as he once exclaimed: Thank God we still do not have a parliament.
Between 1906 and 1917, Russia had its first, and only, democratic experiment until after the fall of the Soviet Union, over 7 decades later. It wasn’t a widespread, large scale experiment, though. The First State Duma elections dominated the first couple of months of 1906. All men above the age of 25 could cast their vote, and there ...

How Did the Russian Empire Actually Work?
How did the autocratic Tsars, the emperors of Russia, control their massive state? The Russian Empire stretched from Poland to the Pacific Ocean and ruled over tens of millions of people, but for almost its entire existence the Russian Empire was presided over by just a single man. Over the decades the Tsars had to adapt to a changing world, and a changing Russia, and they did so with varying degrees of success. From the absolutist Nicholas I to his reformist son, Alexander II, to the last of them all, Nicholas II, each Tsar approached governing with his own ideas, strategies, and plans for greatness.

Days That Shook The World: Russia's Two Revolutions of 1917
Everything you need to know about the Russian Revolution in 13 minutes.
This video covers all the major events of Russia's TWO revolutions of 1917– the February Revolution that ended Tsarist rule in Russia, and the October Revolution, that brought the Bolsheviks to power. We explain the causes of Tsar Nicholas II's growing unpopularity - the role of the mysterious Siberian mystic Rasputin, Russia's disastrous involvement in World War One, and the events on the streets of Petrograd that led to the Tsar's abdication. That summer Russia lurched from crisis to crisis, with a Provisional Government that faced riots (the July Days), military revolt (the Kornilov Affair), economic chaos, and constantly dwindling support. Socialist Prime Minister Alexander Kerensky, once hailed as Russia's great...

The Duma was to form the lower house of a new legislative assembly. It was proposed by Sergei Witte, the Chairman of the Russian Council of Ministers, in response to the wave of violence that culminated in the Russian Revolution of 1905. Tsar Nicholas II formally declared the creation of the Duma when he issued the October Manifesto later that year.
Elections for the Duma took place in March 1906 and permitted men over the age of 25 to vote. Having been boycotted by a number of parties on the left, the election resulted in a centre-left parliament of which the moderate Constitutional Democrats held the most seats.
Witte, the architect of the October Manifesto, was forced to resign on 22 April and the following day the Tsar issued the Russian Constitution of 1906, otherwise known as the Fundamental Laws. Under the terms, the authority of the Duma was severely restricted while the Tsar was given the title ‘supreme autocrat’. He had the power to dismiss the Duma and call elections, while Article 87 permitted him to impose laws as emergency legislation.
Despite possessing such limited powers, the Duma adopted a broadly anti-autocratic agenda and pushed for further reforms after the liberal deputy Professor Sergey Muromtsev was elected as the Duma’s President. Their calls for increased liberties were ignored by the government. The first two bills sent to the Duma for approval were for the construction of a greenhouse a new laundry.
Just 72 days after it convened, the Tsar dissolved the assembly on 21 July. He appointed the more repressive Peter Stolypin to the position of Prime Minister the same day.

It’s always interesting to delve a little bit in the democratic history of a country. In autocratic Russia, it was very short-lived. Following the Russian-revolution of 1905 a “constitution” and “parliament” were established… and yes, those quotation marks definitely belong there. The quote of parliament’s chairman seems fitting, as he once exclaimed: Thank God we still do not have a parliament.
Between 1906 and 1917, Russia had its first, and only, democratic experiment until after the fall of the Soviet Union, over 7 decades later. It wasn’t a widespread, large scale experiment, though. The First State Duma elections dominated the first couple of months of 1906. All men above the age of 25 could cast their vote, and there were 478 seats to be divided, but only landlords of whom the lands exceeded 160 hectares, could vote directly. The other categories of electorate, peasants and inhabitants of cities, for example, could only elect through an electoral college. The result was that a relatively small class of landlords owned 31 percent of the vote, while peasants had 42 percent and the population of cities had 27 percent. A complete disproportionate way to divide the votes.
In March the general elections took place. These were boycotted by revolutionary parties on the far left: the Bolsheviks among others, and the right-wing Union of Russian Peoples. The liberals, on the other hand, held an intensive campaign, lead by the Constitutional Democratic Party, the so-called Kadets, under Pavel Milyukov.

Watch video of Frank Wcislo, Dean of The Commons and associate professor of history at Vanderbilt University, leading an Nov. 10, 2010, class at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
This lecture series surveys the history of the Russian Empire from the 18th century, the height of its prominence, until the revolutions of 1917, the time of its collapse. Its topics will include the 18th-century empire of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, the Napoleonic Wars, which were made famous in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, the coming of industrial modernity to a society and culture shaped by autocracy and serfdom, 19th century Russian imperial expansion in Eurasia, and the wars and revolutions of the early 20th century that destroyed monarchical empire and created the world's first communist state.

Watch video of Frank Wcislo, Dean of The Commons and associate professor of history at Vanderbilt University, leading an Nov. 10, 2010, class at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
This lecture series surveys the history of the Russian Empire from the 18th century, the height of its prominence, until the revolutions of 1917, the time of its collapse. Its topics will include the 18th-century empire of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, the Napoleonic Wars, which were made famous in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, the coming of industrial modernity to a society and culture shaped by autocracy and serfdom, 19th century Russian imperial expansion in Eurasia, and the wars and revolutions of the early 20th century that destroyed monarchical empire and created the world's first communist state. The lectures also consider imperial Russian identity, society, culture, economy and politics, all of which imitated but also differed from cultures found to "the West," an ambivalent relationship that continues to complicate Russian history.

Everything you need to know about the Russian Revolution in 13 minutes.
This video covers all the major events of Russia's TWO revolutions of 1917– the February Revolution that ended Tsarist rule in Russia, and the October Revolution, that brought the Bolsheviks to power. We explain the causes of Tsar Nicholas II's growing unpopularity - the role of the mysterious Siberian mystic Rasputin, Russia's disastrous involvement in World War One, and the events on the streets of Petrograd that led to the Tsar's abdication. That summer Russia lurched from crisis to crisis, with a Provisional Government that faced riots (the July Days), military revolt (the Kornilov Affair), economic chaos, and constantly dwindling support. Socialist Prime Minister Alexander Kerensky, once hailed as Russia's great hope, was unable to restore order, or, in October, prevent the Bolsheviks from launching a coup, organised by Leon Trotsky and led by Vladimir Lenin, that overthrew the Provisional Government and brought the Bolsheviks to power. A brutal civil war followed, leading to the death of more than 10 million Russians – amongst them Tsar Nicholas II and his family, executed by Bolsheviks at Yekaterinburg in July 1918. From the wreckage emerged the Soviet Union, formed in 1922, and destined to be one of the 20th century's superpowers.
