[1] Albertas Šimėnas was appointed as the Prime Minister by the Supreme Council of Lithuania on 10 January 1991, following the dismissal of the previous cabinet.
Only three days later, the January events took place in Vilnius, threatening the fledgling government.
During the events, Šimėnas failed to appear at a government meeting after being called for and could not be located, prompting the Supreme Council to dismiss him on January 13 and appoint Gediminas Vagnorius in his place.
It would later emerge that Šimėnas had left Vilnius and spent the night in the relative safety of Druskininkai.
The following ministers served on the Šimėnas Cabinet.
