	Hellstone - Hell Profile (Revised)
		Dream was not sure what to do with the Key, and after having negotiated with many interested parties, he gave it to the angels Remiel and Duma, who now rule Hell as the Creator's agents in charge.
		Azazel, who wanted to rule Hell himself, unwisely tried to take the Key from Dream by force, and is currently imprisoned in the Sandman's collection of artifacts in the Dreaming.
		In the DC Universe, widely different entities such as Koth, Trigon the Terrible, M'nagalah the God Cancer, the Gothodaemon of Gotham City, Doctor Fate's friend Petey, and the Dementor, have all been referred to as Demons.

	Tsar Of Russia Ivan Iv Basilivich Groznii / Marya Nagoi (later Marta) Of Russia
		His early reign was filled with governmental reforms, including the Boyar Duma s relegation to a less important position 1547 and the creation of the Zemakiy Sobor, the convocation of All the Land, a body of fluctuating membership and poorly defined duties.
		It played a key role in resolving the upcoming Time of Troubles and then committed suicide by paving the way for the establishment of an untrammeled Romanov despotism.

		After pondering about the bids and coercive demands, Sandman decides to give the key to Remiel and Duma, the emissaries from Heaven, who then became the new rulers of the infernal realm.
		DC Comics' representation of Hell shares views with the Jewish and Christian tradition and with Greek mythology, the Norse pantheon, Egyptian entities, among others.
		Both are conscious of themselves as changeable and creative beings who are free to move according to their own plans, which are to empty out Hell, in the case of Lucifer, and to appropriate God's creation, in Satan's case.

	AEI - Short Publications
		The KPRF deemed the Soviet Union a model state and its breakup, a tragedy and a "crime." The same assessment applied to the "destruction" of the Soviet military-industrial complex, whose funding was cut by Yeltsin by 90 percent.[7] The "voluntary" recreation of the Soviet empire was a key objective.
		The single largest faction in the Duma between 1995 and 2003, the KPRF was reduced to 12 percent of the party-list vote in the Duma poll while the Communist candidate for the presidency, who received 40 percent in the 1996 election and 24 percent in 2000, ended up with 14 percent.
		The majority of Russian voters did not trust the KPRF not to reverse the key achievements of the 1991 revolution: civil liberties, multi-party elections, and private property.

	Start II and the ABM Treaty
		But it hardly matters, since the Duma during the START II debate made it very clear that preserving the ABM Treaty in its current form is one of the key conditions of the ratification and the subsequent implementation of START II.
		These arguments eventually made possible the progress in the START II ratification, which resulted in the Duma getting close enough to it to draft a ratification legislation.
		As we can see, regardless of whether the START II Treaty is ratified or not, Russia will be entering into a long period of uncertainty over the future of the next steps of the strategic arms reductions and over the future of the missile defense deployment and the ABM Treaty.

		Prague, 11 September 1998 (RFE/RL) - With former foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov likely to be confirmed today by the State Duma as Russia's new prime minister, Western press commentary focuses strongly on several key questions: Can Primakov end Russia's crippling economic crisis?
		Instead, they believe they can manipulate the new prime minister from the Duma's benches." The editorial adds: "(Primakov,) the president's man, will thus become the parliamentarians' man, obliged to make the country swallow their program of 'renewal:' that is, nationalizations, belt-tightening and a return to (the idea of) a Great Russia."
		The nomination of Yevgeny Primakov to be the country's new prime minister bids fair to end the political stalemate of the last three weeks.

		And, for the party members who were elected as deputies, it meant using the Duma as a platform to disseminate propaganda, to expose the right wing and the liberal bourgeoisie and to assist in the organization of struggles outside the Duma.
		But while Engels argues that "in the measure in which [the working class] matures towards its self-emancipation…it constitutes itself as its own party and votes for its own representatives, not those of the capitalists." He also argues that universal suffrage is not the key to working-class emancipation.
		Without a revolutionary party rather than the hodge-podge that was German social democracy, a revolutionary line in parliament could not be, and was not, carried out by the majority of delegates–though Karl Leibknecht and a handful of other revolutionary delegates did play that role.
