PredecessorSecond Vyrubova government

The third Vyrubova government is the ninety-ninth government of Seredinia. It is the chief executive body of the Seredinian civilian government, comprised of government ministers acting as the heads of various governmental ministries and departments. The Cabinet consists of a number of ministers, appointed by the President at the advice of the Ispolnitel of Seredinia. The current Ispolnitel is Nadezhda Vyrubova. The third Vyrubova government was formed on 6 November 2018, following the dissolution of the second Vyrubova government on 26 October 2018 and the earlier dissolution of the first Vyrubova government on 16 August 2016.

The third Vyrubova government was formed after the dual resignations of Defence Minister Denis Samsonov, Treasury Minister Polina Konycheva, and the majority of their respective undersecretaries on 26 October 2018 due to fallout regarding the 2018 Cash for Influence scandal. The resignations triggered a reshuffle led by Vryubova and Liberal Republican leader Alexander Osennykh.

The government has survived one constructive vote of no confidence since its formation, also related to the Cash for Influence scandal, which took place on 10 November 2018; the motion garnered 262 votes constituting all Kadets as well as other minor party representatives, but including no members of the government nor a number of other minor party deputies. The vote fell short of the 302 vote absolute majority required to depose Nadezhda Vyrubova in favor of proposed candidate and Kadet leader Innokentiy Isyanov.

Appointment

Ministers in the Seredinian Cabinet are formally nominated and approved by the President. In practice, this often occurs with the advice and consent of the Ispolnitel, and in times of divided government the Ispolnitel often chooses their government solely. Ministers are not required to hold seats in either house of the Federal Assembly, though often they are members of the Zemsky Sobor. There is also no age limitation on members of the cabinet, as it is assumed in the Constitution of 1878 and its amended versions that the President and Ispolnitel shall select suitable candidates.

Beyond such regulations, members of the cabinet must be Seredinian citizens; speak the Seredyan language; and have no criminal record, or in such a case be approved by the wider Zemsky Sobor.

Functioning

While officially the presence of the President is required at once-monthly meetings of the cabinet, in practice -- and especially in times of divided government -- the Ispolnitel chairs virtually all meetings. On occasion, leaders of the Opposition in the Zemsky Sobor and Federal Council will be invited to attend cabinet meetings as relates to their agendas.

The cabinet may meet on occasion with only a select few ministers attending. These meetings are chaired by the Ispolnitel and, rarely, the President, and are used to discuss specific information about attending ministers portfolios.
