The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation ([Председатель Государственной Думы Федерального собрания Российской Федерации] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)), also called Speaker (спикер), is the presiding officer of the lower house of the Russian parliament. His responsibilities include overseeing the day-to-day business of the State Duma presiding and maintaining order at the regular sessions of the parliament. The Speaker also chairs the Council of the Duma which includes representatives from all the parliamentary parties and determines the legislative agenda.

The Speaker of the Duma may intervene and express his views but is supposed to be unbiased in his activities at the regular sessions of the parliament.
