It discusses those institutions referred to as parliaments by contemporaries, gives special attention to their functions, and traces the broader debates on parliamentarism within Russia and the Soviet Union, in Russian e?migre? circles, and among foreign observers. It highlights that only the late imperial and perestroika assemblies can be considered legislative institutions that expressed dissensus, but argues that other assemblies, often referred to as "rubber-stamp" parliaments due to their lack of legislative competence and influence over other authorities, should not be dismissed. The Supreme Soviet, for instance, provided an integrative function binding society and elites in a top-down manner, while its deputies engaged in information acquisition and state micromanagement through interactions with their constituents. It also played an important role in interparliamentary relations and, as one of the first institutions of nominal parliamentarism in an autocratic single-party regime, of which there were many in the twentieth century, served as a model for numerous state socialist regimes. By addressing the role of parliaments in reassembling imperial spaces through political representation and the functions of nominal legislative institutions, the book explores the contribution of Russian and Soviet assemblies to global political modernity"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLegislative bodies$zRussia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLegislative bodies$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General$2bisacsh 607 $aRussia$xPolitics and government$y1904-1914 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government 615 0$aLegislative bodies$xHistory 615 0$aLegislative bodies$xHistory. 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General 676 $a328.47/0904 700 $aSablin$b Ivan$g(Ivan Valer?evich),$01592333 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910805692003321 996 $aParliaments in the Late Russian Empire, Revolutionary Russia, and the Soviet Union$93908966 997 $aUNINA
