The Russian government is the political system that manages the country of Russia. It is a federal semi-presidential republic, meaning it has both a president and a prime minister. The president, currently Vladimir Putin, holds significant power and is responsible for making key decisions, while the prime minister manages the day-to-day operations of the government. The government is made up of various ministries and agencies that oversee different areas, such as education, health, and defense. The Federal Assembly is the legislative body, consisting of two chambers: the State Duma and the Federation Council. Together, they create laws and help shape the country's policies.
