 This ensured the third Duma (7 November 1907 – 9 June 1912) would be dominated by gentry, landowners and businessmen.The number of deputies from non-Russian regions was greatly reduced.The system facilitated better, if hardly ideal, cooperation between the Government and the Duma; consequently, the Duma lasted a full five-year term, and succeeded in 200 pieces of legislation and voting on some 2500 bills.
