Is that the best you can do?

I remember a time when conservatives had enough knowledge of comparative politics to know that the Politburo was replaced by the Duma after the USSR collapsed.

I don’t believe you’re really a conservative or a patriot of the true America in exile, just a pathetic pretender.

Nope. The Duma replaced the Congress of People's Deputies of Russia, which replaced the Supreme Soviet of Russia, which replaced the All-Russian Congress of Soviets and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee. I think you maybe are out of your element here.
