Political institutions act as actors capable of ensuring a balance between political, economic and public interests. The main purpose of the article is to clarify the role of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation in the political life of the country and the promotion of advanced management principles. This study examines the organizational the origins of this state body as a political institution; clarifies its legal and regulatory status; the most significant functions implemented by the Administration are highlighted; the importance in ensuring the legitimacy of the Russian government is characterized, an analogy is drawn between the ESG principles used by commercial structures and the management approaches used by the Administration. The authors use institutional, systemic and structural–functional approaches as scientific methods. The authors consider the apparatus of the Central Committee of the CPSU as a prototype of the Presidential Administration of Russia, and the Presidential Executive Office of the RSFSR as its direct predecessor. The Administration is considered as a constitutional body, a political institution derived from the institution of the President of the Russian Federation, and does not have its own powers other than those of the President. The authors believe that the coordinated work of the Administration contributes to the technocratic legitimacy of the first person of the state. The importance of the role of this state body as a powerful channel for recruiting high-level professionals is emphasized.
