There is a consensus in academia that civil society participation has a positive impact on the quality of public administration. At the same time, the NGOs’ inclusion in governance serves as a tool for achieving the interests of political elites under the conditions of undemocratic regime. In this context, the question arises of whether state institutions can be held accountable to civil society organizations. This study is aimed at resolving the existing contradiction and identifying the strategies of NGOs’ control over state institutions particularly the system of psychoneurological boarding houses in Russia in 2012-2019. To study the strategies of civil control under the conditions set by the structure of political and legal opportunities, a qualitative method of analysis is used within the case-study approach.
