Dmitry Medvedev's Second Cabinet was the composition of the Russian government from 18 May 2018 to 15 January 2020 under the leadership of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
The Cabinet resigned on 15 January 2020, in response to significant constitutional changes suggested by Vladimir Putin regarding shifting power away from the presidency. However on Putin's instructions the Cabinet continued its work as a caretaker cabinet.




Formation


The government began to form after Vladimir Putin's inauguration on 7 May 2018, when Putin nominated Medvedev as Prime Minister. On the same day, United Russia decided to support Medvedev. Since United Russia had more than half of the seats in the State Duma, this means Medvedev would become Prime Minister even if all other parties opposed him. On 8 May, the Liberal Democratic Party also expressed support for Dmitry Medvedev and nominated six candidates for Ministerial posts. On the same day, after a meeting with Dmitry Medvedev, the Communist Party and A Just Russia refused to support Medvedev.
For the first time since 1991 candidates for Deputy Prime Ministers were nominated before the hearings in the State Duma.
