Part 2 The rise and fall of the first Russian Parliament (A History): from a regional assembly to the National Legislature; the parliament and the reform; the fall of the parliament. Part 3 Parliamentary behaviour at a formative stage (Three case studies): voting in the Russian parliament - the spectrum of political forces and the conflict between the executive and the legislative; the people and the legislative - populist trends in contemporary parliamentary discourse; legislation of the second republic - democratic values and democratic procedures in the juridical context of "Sobornost'".
