Change and innovation are slow to arrive in Russia, with the Industrial Revolution arriving decades after it emerges in Europe, making life difficult for people even before the Great War begins. Whispers of a constitutional monarchy make its way through the land as new political parties like the Constitutional Democracy Party (Cadets) emerge. The economy improves little by little but it is simply not enough to sustain the population when war begins to tear the region to shreds. The economy is in a crisis and citizens are looking for some semblance of leadership to not only improve their lives, but also their international reputation. Delegates in this joint crisis committee will get to determine the fate of Russia and her people through negotiations within their own crisis room and with delegates from the opposing side. We will begin in August of 1915 after the Russian Empire is forced to retreat from Russian Poland.

  • 1906 Russian Duma SILTMUN IV
    1906 Russian Duma SILTMUN IV Chair: Paul Witry Political Officer: Danny Benson Vice Chair: Dennis Sopic December 7th, 2013 Lyons Township High School La Grange, Illinois Hello Delegates! I have the wonderful job of being the chair for the 1906 Russian Duma at SILTMUN IV this year! My name is Paul Witry and I am a junior at St. Ignatius College Prep. I have been a member of our Model UN team since freshman year and have attended many conferences. I have been USG of Simulations at SILTMUN III, Head of Communications at SIMUN XII as well as on the dais of the JCC Cold War Cabinet. I am looking forward to a fun, productive and fast paced day when we meet for committee. This will be the second cabinet I have chaired, and I aim to give everyone the best experience possible. We are focused on fostering student’s love for MUN and want to help then learn the ins and outs of committee. My vice chair Danny Benson is equally proficient in Model UN, and I am confident we will give you a very interesting and rigorous committee experience. The 1906 Russian Duma was the political body from 1906 to 1917 in the Russian Empire. This body took on some the major issues of the day. Our committee is set in 1906, so anything after that time has not happened and does not affect the committee. You will set history. Our first topic will be economic reform and land division and our second will be electoral and political reform.
