Contents

The Chapter 6 of the Constitution of Russia says, that "The Government of the Russian Federation consists of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation and federal ministries". First of all, First Vice-Premier is Vice-Premier, all others are distribution of responsibilities among Vice-Premiers inside the Government. There can be more than one First Vice-Premier, therefore written distribution of responsibilities is the most important document. The Federal constitutional law "On the Government of the Russian Federation" says "in the case of temporary absence of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, his duties are performed by one of the Deputy Chairmen of the Government of the Russian Federation in accordance with a written distribution of responsibilities". It's automatically and President's Executive Order is not required in that moment. [4]

Notes

  1. 1 2 A candidate for the prime minister should be a deputy prime minister in an outgoing cabinet. If he is not, he would be appointed as such shortly before the cabinet's dismissal. This leds to a situation when the same person acts as interim prime minister and deputy to himself until official approval of the new PM by the State Duma.
