State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said in his speech that in 30 years Russia “has gone from a weak, collapsing state to the strongest European economy,” one of the top five in the world. “In 1993, elections to the State Duma took place. Rallies in squares and streets, and it was in this situation that our parliament was formed. After the elections, all these debates and discussions moved to the walls of the State Duma. And this alone did a lot, because the discussion began to be conducted in accordance with regulations, procedures, rules,” Volodin said. He noted that “not everything worked out right away – there were squabbles and fights,” laws were adopted that were not financially supported. “But the situation changed dramatically for the better when Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was elected president,” Volodin said, adding that it was from this moment that one can take “the starting point for the development of our parliament.” Further, the speaker of the State Duma spoke about the formation of parties, intra-party and intra-factional work, when “regardless of how many votes the parties received during the elections, each faction should have the opportunity to develop decisions, participate in their adoption, and express their point of view.” “It was in 2016,” said Volodin (this year Volodin became chairman of the State Duma of the 7th convocation. – Vedomosti). Since then, in the State Duma, different factions began to listen to each other’s opinions, “conflicts became a thing of the past, meaningful conversations began to prevail.”
