The Concept of Auxiliary Government Agencies: The Institution of Plenipotentiary Representatives of the President of Russia in Federal Districts

After describing characteristics of auxiliary government agencies, the author compares auxiliary government agencies with the institution of plenipotentiary representatives of the President of Russia in federal districts and defines the concept of “auxiliary government agencies “ (auxiliary bodies of state power). The paper demonstrates that the concept of auxiliary bodies in the Russian legal doctrine originated more than 100 years ago. It has continued in the works of prominent scholars of modern times. The author relies on the regulatory framework in his assumption claiming the primacy of the Presidential Administration of Russia over the institution of plenipotentiaries in federal districts. It is concluded that the institution of plenipotentiary representatives in federal districts, or more precisely — administrative officers of plenipotentiary representatives of the President of Russia in federal districts, not only substantially fit into the concept under consideration, but also have a genuine constitutional and legal character, since the establishment of this institution is permitted by the Constitution of the Russian Federation (reference in Chapter 4).
