- SidiousL 9y agoI haven't heard of any instance where the Duma disagreed with any of Putin's ideas. I don't think the Duma is providing any checks and balances to the power that Putin has.
- nmbr213 9y agoMeh, their collective decision is to follow Putin's orders. Gosduma's sessions are streamed online but they still don't give a fuck and play games on smartphones, read newspapers, chat and even don't show up at all so others have to vote for them[1]. No wonder most those draconian laws are passed with 90%+ approval. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usmji_xRe0U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usmji_xRe0U
