Summary/Abstract: The report examines the institute of "putting under cover" an MI employee in various bodies and organizations – state, municipal, public, NGOs and others. An attempt to describe the legal and functional status of the employee under cover according to the cited Regulation for gaining cooperation and organizing the cover of MI employees in government authorities, organizations and legal entities approved by the Minister of Interior. In the course of legal and operational analysis "rhetorical" questions arise, which need higher government authorities and MI management to give reliable answers in the legal space. The figures of "undercover officer" and "officer of the cover” mentioned in different legal documents and acting in the legal reality are in support of this unclear situation. A need appears to refine the details in legal status and functional purpose of both referred types of operating institute.
