section::::history.:first duma.









































the first duma opened on 27 april 1906 after the 1905 revolution and was established by nicholas ii in his october manifesto, with around 500 deputies; most radical left parties, such as the socialist revolutionary party had boycotted the election, leaving the moderate constitutional democrats (kadets) with the most deputies (around 180). second came an alliance of slightly more radical leftists, the trudoviks (laborites) with around 100 deputies. to the right of both were a number of smaller parties, including the octobrists. together, they had around 45 deputies. other deputies, mainly from peasant groups, were unaffiliated.
state duma (russian empire)
nicholas ii opened the first duma on with a speech from the throne in the winter palace. while he and his ministers hoped to keep the duma quiescent, the deputies refused to cooperate: they introduced bills for agrarian reform, which were strenuously opposed by the landlords, together with other radical legislative proposals far beyond anything the tsarist regime was prepared to accept. he dissolved the first duma on but since elections for the second duma returned even more radicals than before, the impasse between legislature and executive continued. about 20% of seats in the second duma were taken by socialists: mensheviks, bolsheviks (both factions of the russian social democratic labor party), popular socialists and socialist revolutionaries, all of whom had boycotted the elections for the first duma. unable to build a working relationship with the new duma, the imperial government, under newly appointed prime minister pyotr stolypin, set about finding an excuse to dissolve it.
