The Russian Government (Russian: Правительство России, romanized: Pravitelstvo Rossii) or fully titled the Government of the Russian Federation (Russian: Правительство Российской Федерации, romanized: Pravitelstvo Rossiyskoy Federatsii) is the highest federal executive governmental body of the Russian Federation. It is accountable to the President of the Russian Federation and controlled by the State Duma.
The status and procedure of its activities are determined by chapter 6 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the provisions of the federal constitutional law "On the Government of the Russian Federation". The Government's terms of reference include the development and enforcement of the federal budget and the implementation of socially oriented government policies in various cultural areas of Russian society. Although the Government of the Russian Federation does not adopt laws, its responsibilities include issuing federal by-laws (resolutions) based on federal laws passed by the Federal Assembly.
According to the 1991 amendment to the 1978 constitution, the President of Russia was the head of the executive branch and headed the Council of Ministers of Russia. According to the current 1993 constitution, the president is not a part of the government of Russia, which exercises executive power. However, the president appoints the prime minister.
