Gormikin's Response to the Government's Opening Address

Gormikin instructed government ministers not to appear before the duma or answer their summons. He eventually sent two bills for the dumas consideration, one was about approving funds for a single local school. The other was about building a steam laundry for a provincial university. These were calculated and insulting snubs. On top of that, gormikin directed the state newspapers to publish telegrams from supporters of the government calling the duma an insulting disgrace. Most of these telegrams were written by people associated with the reactionary black hundreds. So roughly two weeks into the grand new political order, and it is completely broken down.
