To understand how decisions are made in power structures, you need to know the principle of their formation. This also applies to the Russian government. Having studied its composition and the principle of selection of personnel, you will be able to better understand the political system of the country as a whole.
Instructions
Step 1
The government of the Russian Federation consists of a chairman coordinating the activities of a state body, his deputies on various issues, as well as federal ministers and heads of federal agencies.
Step 2
The head of this state body, otherwise called the prime minister, is appointed by the joint efforts of the president and the State Duma. First, the head of state submits a candidate for discussion by parliamentarians. A potential head of government must meet a number of conditions, such as not having foreign citizenship. Then, when the candidate receives a majority of the Duma votes, he can take the desired post. If the State Duma rejects three presidential contenders, the latter has the right to dissolve parliament. In this case, early elections to the Duma are called.
Step 3
Deputy Prime Ministers, or Deputy Prime Ministers, are first selected by the Prime Minister and then must be approved by the Head of State. There can be a maximum of eight of them.
Step 4
Ministers and heads of federal agencies are also initially selected by the head of government. These can be old cadres who worked under the previous head, or new employees who came into politics with a transfer from another job or with a promotion. Within a week of his appointment, the prime minister is obliged to submit a list of candidates for the cabinet to the president. After that, as a result of consultations and working meetings, the candidates are approved by the head of state or replaced by others.
Step 5
Thus, one can see that in terms of forming a government, Russia justifies its status as a presidential republic. The regulation of the main political processes takes place on the direct orders or under the control of the president with only partial participation of the parliament.
