The subject is the conceptual aspects and regulatory legal acts defining the legal status of the Government of the Russian Federation. The article reveals the signs of executive authorities. The analysis of the provisions of regulatory legal acts affecting the legal status of the Government of the Russian Federation is carried out. The relevance of the article is to identify the existing legal uncertainty of the place and role of the Government of the Russian Federation in the exercise of executive power.The theoretical basis is made up of scientific works by scientists and practitioners in the field of public law, whose research interests focused on issues related to the study of the system of executive authorities in Russia. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the legal status of the Government of the Russian Federation and to draw conclusions about its place in the system and structure of federal executive authorities and its role in public, including executive, government. In the course of the research, legal methods (formal-logical, comparative-legal), as well as the methodology of system analysis and expert analysis were used. As a result of the analysis of constitutional and administrative legislation in the field of public administration, significant features of the Government of the Russian Federation have been identified, interaction and relationship with federal executive authorities have been characterized, and problematic aspects of its legal status have been identified. The statement in the Federal Law "On the Government of the Russian Federation" that the Government of the Russian Federation is part of the system of federal executive authorities does not seem sufficiently justified, taking into account the content of the Basic Law of Russia and the acts of the President. The novelty of the article lies in substantiating the need to verify the provisions of regulatory legal acts on the legal status of the Government of the Russian Federation for their compliance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as the need for interpretation by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, taking into account the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation introduced in 2020.
