It was led by Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, proposed by President Vladimir Putin for the approval by the State Duma on May 7, 2004, the day Putin entered into his second presidential term. On May 12 Fradkov was approved by the State Duma and appointed Prime Minister by the President[1]. Other 17 ministers of the cabinet were appointed by presidential decrees on May 20, 2004. The prime minister and 16 ministers occupied the same positions in Mikhail Fradkov's First Government.
