В статье рассматривается председатель Думы как политический институт, который
заметно эволюционировал вместе со всей политической системы Российской
империи. Отчасти это объясняется поступательным расширением полномочий
Думы, отчасти личными качествами председателей и той партийной поддержкой,
на которую они могли рассчитывать. Так или иначе, в условиях неустойчивости
правил игры, рыхлости фракционных структур председатель обретал широкий
круг полномочий, что делало его весьма влиятельной фигурой в ...

Varying demographic, socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of ethnic groups in Russia provide a unique opportunity ...
