💡 Example 💡 Duma
Duma (name): Barricades were raised, Dumas were convened and dissolved, emergency laws were enacted, mystics sought escape routes to the beyond—and meanwhile this little group of captains and colonels, nicknamed the “Young Turks,” developed their ideas, read the works of German generals, and gathered strength.
