Best Answer

Because the constitution of 1993 dictates such a system, whereby the head of the government is the PM & the head of state is the president. The president appoints the PM rather than a legislative election of the majority party being held. The president's nominee must be approved by the Duma, which in actuality is simply a rubber stamp for Medvedev & Putin. Putin has been elected President again and he will appoint Medvedev as his PM and the appointment will receive the approval of the Duma. There are some divisions of formal power between the two positions in the Constitution, however, as Putin has centralized power in the office and among his supporters over the past decade, the power, in reality, seems to reside with Putin who has been making more political decisions and influencing policy as the PM more than any other PM in the past, whereby overlooking the few divisions of power that do exist between these positions.
