Boyar Duma of the Tsardom of Antarctica

The Boyar Duma of Tsardom of Antarctica (rus. Боярская дума or Боѩрскаѩ доума) - is the supreme council, consisting of representatives of the feudal aristocracy. No sovereign could do without a duma, not excluding Ivan I.

The boyar Duma did not play an independent role, it always acted together with the tsar, forming together with the sovereign a single supreme power. This unity was especially pronounced in matters of legislation and in international relations. In all cases , a decision was made in the following form: "The sovereign indicated, and the boyars were sentenced" or "By the sovereign's decree, the boyars were sentenced."
