Explanation

Russia's national legislature consists of two chambers: the State Duma (lower house) and the Federation Council (upper house). While 'Duma' is correct, it specifically refers to the lower house. The term comes from the Russian word 'dumat' meaning 'to think' or 'to consider'. The current Duma was established in 1993 after the Soviet Union's dissolution.
