The article is devoted to the evolution of the formation of Central state bodies of Russia in the late XV - the first half of the XVI centuries. The core of the study is the problem of the origin of the first Central state bodies (Prikaz system) during the formation of a single centralized state. The authors consider the process of changing individual assignments and positions into state bodies working permanently. The authors show the interrelation between the original core of public administration and the new system and structure of state bodies formed at the beginning of the XVI century. The authors attempt to classify the early bodies of public administration (Prikaz) based on the scope and nature of competence, as well as the principles of their activities. The work reveals general and particular features of the development of the public administration apparatus in Russia with similar processes that took place in this period in Europe.
