Vladimir Putin, who was sworn in as the President of Russia for the 5th term last Tuesday, signed a decree appointing Mikhail Mishustin as the Prime Minister of Russia. Putin’s decision represents an important step in reshaping the Russian government.

Following the presidential elections in March in Russia, the process of reshaping the government that resigned continued, and after a vote in the lower house of the Russian parliament, Duma, it was decided that Mikhail Mishustin would be elected as the Prime Minister again with the support of the members of parliament. Mishustin’s appointment to the prime ministerial position was formalized with Putin’s approval.

In the coming days, Mikhail Mishustin will complete preparations regarding the distribution of duties in the cabinet and present it to Putin, and the Russian government will prepare for the new term. The government under Mishustin’s leadership is expected to take shape in the coming weeks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had dismissed the then Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in January 2020 and appointed Mikhail Mishustin in his place. With Mishustin’s reappointment as prime minister, continuity in the political arena and state governance in Russia has been emphasized.
