Legitimacy of legislative decisions generally regard as a function of legitimacy of early embedded procedures. To such a formal approach we counterpart a communicative respect for legitimacy. Processes of legitimation of Duma's decisions in 2012 are analyzed in three context of parliamentary discussion - agenda setting, making amendments and explaining motives of vote. After the frame analysis of each context we reveal a split between powers and opposition, which expose in rejection from the both sides to achieve a compromise decisions during the parliamentary discussion. On our opinion, this situation is dangerous, because of it leads to legitimacy of the Russian State Duma is falling down.
