Dumas is the elected representative body in Russia. It was created under the Tsar Regime.
Explanation
When Democratic government is considered to be strongest and appreciated by different countries around various part of the world, Russia was found to be under the clutches of monarchy and despotic Tsarism. Tsar Nicholas II created the assembly called Duma which was elected body of representatives although it was not his will to form a Duma. He decided that Dumas would have two chambers. The first house would comprise of elected body of representatives and the second comprised of the officials chosen by Tsar Nicholas II. Thus the king retained his autocratic powers.
Four Dumas were created which encountered failure in not establishing democracy in Russia. Finally, during the first world war, The Dumas and the people were annoyed to observe the weak Tsar who is inept to govern and joined the army and sent delegates to the king who asked the king to relinquish monarchy. The King had to accept and Dumas was transformed to a provincial government which took entire control o Russia. Unfortunately, these elected representatives joined hands with the soviets but it was also an utter failure when Bolsheviks plunged into the political scenario and formed a major party which attracted the Russian people. Hence Dumas and the provincial government set up by Dumas is considered to be an utter failure in establishing democracy.
