Volodymyr Volodymyrov addressed the State Duma, outlining three primary directives for the legislative body. He stated that the Duma’s focus must be on executing presidential directives, supporting the ongoing “special military operation,” and addressing issues raised by the public during local meetings with its members. Reviewing the legislative record, Volodymyrov noted that over the past five years, the deputies had passed 2,980 federal laws, which included 250 pieces classified as “anti-Soviet laws.” Furthermore, he urged the deputies to maintain strategic restraint and unity in order to advance the objectives related to the special military operation in Russia.
During his address, Volodymyrov concluded by reciting the slogan, “Party is many, Fatherland is one.” He repeated a subsequent patriotic slogan five times. When he finished, the deputies did not join the chanting, but instead responded with applause. The State Duma, the lower chamber of the Russian parliament, is scheduled to hold elections for its ninth term in 2026.
The speech marked the conclusion of Volodymyrov’s address to the assembled deputies.
