State Duma

What State Duma does

The State Duma (Государственная Дума) is the lower house of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the sole chamber authorized to pass federal laws under Article 95 of the Russian Constitution. It comprises 450 deputies elected for five-year convocations and is currently in its 8th convocation (2021–2026), chaired by Vyacheslav Volodin. The chamber serves the entire Russian citizenry through representation, legislative oversight of the executive, and adoption of federal statutes across policy areas including defense, migration, taxation, and digital regulation.

Its core technology footprint centers on the Digital Legislative Portal (sozd.duma.gov.ru), which manages the full bill lifecycle from draft to signature; an online citizen petition system that funnels public appeals into formal legislative consideration; and live broadcast infrastructure that streams plenary sessions and committee hearings. The official portal (duma.gov.ru) is delivered in Russian and English, and a unified committee subsystem coordinates drafting across the chamber's standing committees. Together these systems bind deputies, federal agencies, and citizens into a single transparency-and-workflow stack.

The State Duma is not a commercial entity and generates no revenue from market activity. It is funded entirely through the Russian federal budget, with operating costs, deputy compensation, and infrastructure financed by public appropriations. Services to citizens — petitions, public hearings, open legislative data — are provided free of charge. Recent legislative output has been concentrated, with the 8th convocation reporting 171 laws supporting participants of the Special Military Operation, 13 anti-cybercrime laws, and 27 migration-related federal laws.

Core offering

The State Duma is the lower house of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, exercising constitutional authority to draft, debate, and pass federal laws, conduct parliamentary oversight of the executive branch through hearings and inquiries, and represent Russian citizens through 450 elected deputies organized in party factions and policy committees. It delivers digital citizen services through the official web portal (duma.gov.ru), the Digital Legislative Portal (sozd.duma.gov.ru), and the Online Petition System (priemnaya.duma.gov.ru), and broadcasts plenary sessions live to the public.

Product overview

The State Duma operates primarily as a legislative body rather than a product company. Its main digital presence consists of the official web portal (duma.gov.ru), which serves as a citizen-facing government information platform providing legislative process information, news, committee and faction activities, deputy communications, and various e-government services. The website offers multilingual support (Russian, English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic) and integrates with social media platforms including VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Telegram, and MAX messenger for public communications.
