Explanation

Under the post‑1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation the Prime Minister is formally appointed by the President but requires approval by the State Duma, the lower chamber of the Federal Assembly. This reflects Russia’s semi‑presidential system in which the President selects the head of government while the parliamentary lower house provides consent to the nomination. In practice the President nominates a candidate and the State Duma must vote to confirm the appointment, making option 2 the correct choice. The cited source explicitly notes that the prime minister in Russia is appointed by the president, consistent with the requirement for Duma consent in the constitutional scheme [1].
