Prime minister (as well as any other minister) has nothing to do with parliament, he's the head of government. And parliament has nothing to with government nor it has any word in appointing ministers. So "prime minister of parliament" is nonsense. I will quote your original phrase once again:

Yes, it seems like you indeed wrote "prime minister of the Russian parliament". So, I repeat once again, go study, or I'll do my best to nominate you for Golden Boot award.
