List of heads of government of Russia

Dmitry Medvedev is currently head of government

Since its official commencement, around 57 people had governed the Russian government, one of the country's highest organs, which is composed of ministries, such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Culture. The virtual chairman of government was a member of the Supreme Privy Council, which was created on 8 (19) February 1726 by Empress Catherine, but usual ministry duties were implemented into the Committee of Ministers, which was established on 8 (20) September 1802 in accordance with the manifest of Emperor Alexander II. Beginning with count Aleksandr Romanovich Vorontsov, the eldest of the officers was de facto chairman of the committee. Eight years since the inauguration of the manifest, the first de jure office holder was count Nikolay Rumyantsev.^[1] The Council of Ministers was unofficially formed in October 1857, as a result of Emperor Alexander II's reforms; its first session began on 19 (31) December 1857. Before the actual formation of that entity on 12 (24) November 1861, the Emperor himself was in charge. The Council of Ministers consisted of chairmen of the State Council and the Committee of Ministers, as well as high-ranked officers appointed by the Emperor. The first session ended on 11 (23) December 1882, after insufficient number of files.^[2]

The Committee of Ministers functioned simultaneously with the second session of the Council of Ministers for six more months; count Sergei Witte participated on both entities until the liquidation of the committee on 23 April (5 May) 1906. Following that event, the duties of the committee were left to the Council of Ministers, until the formation of the Small Council in 1909, which also included deputy ministers. By the order of Emperor Nicholas II, the second session of the Council of Ministers began on 19 October (1 November) 1905, following the formation of the State Duma. Shortly after the February Revolution and the inception of the Russian Provisional Government on 2 (15) March 1917, the two Minister-Chairmen became Georgy Lvov from the Constitutional Democratic Party and Alexander Kerensky from the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. The provisional Russian Republic was eventually replaced by the Russian Soviet Republic and the governmental entity by the Council of Peoples' Commissars, which was chaired from 1917–1924 by Vladimir Lenin. That entity was renamed Council of Ministers following a decree of the Supreme Council on 23 March 1946.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Boris Yeltsin, as the President of the Russian Federation, was automatically appointed as the Head of Government of the Russian Federation in the first two years of his mandate. Latter entity took the previous name "Council of Ministers", the chairman of which became Viktor Chernomyrdin from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, replacing acting chairman Yegor Gaidar. According to the new constitution ratified on 25 December 1993, those two entities were separated. Since then, the head of that office takes the formal title "Chairmen of the Government" or colloquially "Prime Minister". Chernomyrdin resumed chairing the government, and non-partisans and acting office holders followed next. On 8 May 2008, Vladimir Putin took the office for a second term, now as a member of United Russia. Since 8 May 2012, Dmitry Medvedev governs the office.^[3]

The youngest head of government by his accession to office was Count Karl-Fridrikh Golshteyn-Gottorpsky, at age 26, and the oldest Count Pyotr Andreyevich Tolstoy, at age 81.

Dates before the calendar reform of 26 January 1918 are according to the Julian calendar.

^ Some sources (such as the Large Soviet Encyclopedia) list Vyazmitinov as committee minister, while other (such as the History of the Fatherland encyclopedia) don't mention him at all and instead list Lopukhin as the successor of Saltykov
