Kurgan Oblast Duma, Legislative assembly in Kurgan, Russia.
The Kurgan Oblast Duma is the regional legislature of Kurgan Oblast, seated in a building on Gogol Street designed by architect N. A. Yushkov. The building was founded on 8 May 1904 and consecrated on 24 September 1905 as a men's religious school. It has housed the Duma since 1994, with 34 deputies working in six permanent committees and a mandate commission.
In 1898 the Tobolsk diocesan congress decided to found a men's religious school in Kurgan, and the city duma granted land on Novo-Zapolnaya Street, now Gogol Street. Bishop Anthony of Tobolsk laid the first stone on 8 May 1904, and the architect was N. A. Yushkov. The premises were consecrated on 24 September 1905. In April 1918 the school was renamed the First Peasant University, and in 1919 the building became a hospital.
The Duma's eighth convocation has six deputy factions: United Russia, A Just Russia, the Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, New People and the Party of Pensioners. The building it sits in began as a men's religious school, founded by decision of the 1898 Tobolsk diocesan congress with land granted by the city duma.
The building has visitor areas where people can attend public sessions held throughout the year. The official website provides information about upcoming meetings and allows citizens to stay informed about legislative matters.
The building combines early 20th-century educational architecture with modern administrative facilities, housing six permanent committees and an electoral commission.
