description | Do budget bills change during review in the Russian State Duma? If so, by how much and why? Portrayals of the contemporary Federal Assembly as a ‘rubber stamp’ parliament would suggest that budget initiatives undergo no amendment during the formal period of legislative review.

The article also discusses why such changes are made, assessing hypotheses concerning legislator influence, technical updating and intra-executive conflict. |
