J.M. Staniforth, News of the World, 29 July 1906
Tsar Nikolas II agreed to call the Duma, Russia’s first democratic ruling council chamber, in the wake of the 1905 revolution, but then, deeming it too radical, he dissolved it and re-introduced martial law in its place. On heareing the news, the Prime Minister, Henry Campell-Bannerman, in a speech to the House of Lords on 23 July 1906, stated: “New institutions have often a disturbed, if not a stormy youth. The Duma will revive in one form or another. We can say with all sincerity, «the Duma is dead, long live the Duma.»”
Николай Второй распустил Думу, посчитав её слишком радикальной.
