Very rare document of the Russian history of parliamentarism, the first Duma which ran 73 days until July 8, 1906.

The first Duma opened 1906 with around 500 deputies. Most radical left partis had boycotted the election. The moederate Constitutional Democrats (Kadets) had the most deputies, around 180.
Sergei Muromtsev, Professor of Law at the Moscow University was the elected chairman.
Lev Urosov held a famous speech. Scared by this liberalism, the Czar has dissolved the Duma. Pyotr Stolypin was named the new Prime Minister.
Paul Miliukov and approximately 200 deputies, mostly from the liberal Kadets party decamped to Vyborg, part of Russian Finland, since the parliament in St. Petersburg was closed. They discussed their plans for the future and issued the Vyborg appeal / manifest, which called for civil disobedience. It ended with their arrest and the closure of the Kadet party offices.
