Valentina Matvienko Speaker, Federation Council We will discuss a broad range of key government issues, set priorities of the legislative procedure. Hopefully, this will be a specific, constructive and rich discussion.

Sergey Naryshkin Speaker, the State Douma On 27 April we will celebrate the Day of Russian Parliamentarianism.
This Palace hosted the first session of the Russian Douma 108 years ago. Since that long, we have seen many important historic developments, yet we have enjoyed the democratic Constitution and the democratic Parliament since 1993 only.
