How does a person become prime minister in Russia?

In Russia, a person becomes prime minister by being appointed by the president. The president nominates a candidate, typically from the ruling political party or coalition, who must then be approved by the State Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly. If the Duma rejects the candidate three times, the president can dissolve the Duma and call for new elections. The prime minister oversees the government and implements domestic and foreign policies.
