The authors analyze the controversial issues of the constitutional and legal status of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, concerning its place in the system of public authorities. The provisions on the special status of the Prosecutor’s office, as well as on the allocation of the prosecutorial branch (subsystem) of State power are critically evaluated. The authors come to the conclusion that in modern and retrospective realities, the prosecutor’s office is a state body that is part of the legal mechanism for exercising the powers of the head of state. Suggestions are made about the content of the constitutional and legal doctrine on the status of the prosecutor’s office.
