Dmitry Medvedev's Second Cabinet is the current composition of the Russian government under the leadership of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. The cabinet was approved on 18 May 2018.[1]

Formation[edit]

The government began to form after Vladimir Putin's inauguration on 7 May 2018, when Putin nominated Medvedev as Prime Minister.[2] On the same day, United Russia decided to support Medvedev. Since United Russia has more than half of the seats in the State Duma, this means that Medvedev would become Prime Minister, even if all other parties voted against it.[3] On 8 May, the Liberal Democratic Party also expressed support for Dmitry Medvedev and nominated six candidates for Ministerial posts.[4] On the same day, after a meeting with Dmitry Medvedev, the Communist Party and A Just Russia refused to support Medvedev.[5][6]

For the first time since 1991, candidates for Deputy Prime Ministers were nominated before the hearings in the State Duma.[7]

Structure and Composition[edit]

On 15 May, Dmitry Medvedev presented to President Vladimir Putin a draft structure of the Cabinet.[8] Thus, Ministry of Education and Science was divided into the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education; Ministry of Communications and Mass Media was renamed to the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media. In addition, it was established that the Prime Minister will have ten deputies. On the same day, Putin signed a Decree "On the Structure of Federal Executive Bodies".[9]

On 18 May 2018, Dmitry Medvedev presented the composition of the Cabinet, and on the same day President Vladimir Putin approved the composition.[10]

In General, the composition of the Government has been updated by almost a third. Their posts retained 13 members. 4 people who were in the previous Cabinet remained in the government, but took new positions. Two were members of the government in the past and returned to the government after a break. The remaining 12 members of the government are completely new.[11]
