Prime Minister of Russia

In Russia, there's a President who is like the main boss, and a Prime Minister who is like the President's super helpful second-in-command! The Prime Minister helps run the country every day, making sure things work smoothly. It's a very important job, like being the captain of a big team!

The President picks the Prime Minister, and can also say goodbye if needed. The Prime Minister is always busy making sure everything is just right for the people of Russia.

This special job of Prime Minister has been around for a super long time, since 1905! That's even before your grandparents were born! But the way it works now, with a special rulebook called a constitution, started in 1993.

Think of it like getting a new set of rules for a game to make it fairer and more fun for everyone playing. The Prime Minister's job is to follow these rules and help the President lead the country.

Even though the Prime Minister is very important, the President has a lot of say. The President is like the ultimate decision-maker. They choose who the Prime Minister will be and can even change their mind!

The President can also lead important meetings where big decisions are made. It's like the President is the coach of a sports team, and the Prime Minister is the star player who listens to the coach's instructions.

Right now, the person doing this important job is named Mikhail Mishustin. He started being the Prime Minister in January 2020. Before him, Dmitry Medvedev was the Prime Minister. Sometimes, the whole team of helpers, called the government, steps down, and then a new team is chosen. Mikhail Mishustin is busy working hard to help Russia run smoothly every single day!
