License information
The section of Duma’s website dedicated to transcripts does not have a dedicated page with terms of use or licensing information. Its footer includes a generic copyright notice, claiming copyright.

The about page of the main Duma website, of which this transcripts section is ultimately part, includes a page “On the use of information” (“Об использовании информации”), which clarifies the permissive conditions for re-publishing contents used on the website. Even if it does not include reference to specific license, it unambiguously states that contents can be published anywhere, without any sort of limitation, with the only condition being that a link the original source must be included. It appears that the same terms of use should apply also to the “transcripts” section of the website.
