All the sessions of the State Duma of Russian Federation that opens its autumn sessions’ series on Wednesday will be translated in the Internet.

Internet translations of State Duma sessions will be accessible on the official web-site of Duma duma.gov.ru from September 9. During the first days the translation will be conducted in test mode. It is planned that every citizen of the country will have the opportunity to watch all the sessions of the lower chamber of Russian parliament.

It is worth mentioning that St.-Petersburg’s government has been already translating its sessions for a while.
