History
The role of prime minister was first filled in 1912 by Yaropolk Gusev, the position being established by Imperator Peter II's regent Grand Duke Boris in an attempt to appease the revolutionaries that had assassinated his brother Aleksei II. This position was abolished in 1915 with the overthrow of the monarchy, and was reestablished in 2021 after the August Revolution.
Nomination
The Prime Minister is appointed by the President of the Slavic Union, who is theoretically free to pick whomever he pleases for the post. In practice, because the National Assembly does have the power to force the resignation of the Government by adopting a motion of censure, the choice of Prime Minister must reflect the will of the majority in the Assembly.
Role
According the Constitution of the Slavic Republic the prime minister "shall direct the actions of the Government", the constitution also says that the government "shall determine and conduct the policy of the Nation", and it includes domestic issues, while the president concentrates on formulating directions on national defense and foreign policy while arbitrating the efficient service of all governmental authorities in the Union. Other members of Government are appointed by the president "on the recommendation of the prime minister". In practice the prime minister acts in harmony with the president to whom he is a subordinate.
