Talent management is interpreted as a part of the HR strategic management concerning those members of staff who are able to determine significantly the future development of their organizations. In terms of public service reform in Russia it is extremely important to be able to identify those public servants who have a high potential to develop the vision, strategic objectives and the means to achieve them. Talent management in public administration (institutionalized in Russia as administrative reserves) can be summarized in three main components. The authors have focused on one of them - training programs for prospective public servants. School of Public Administration at Lomonosov Moscow State University (SPA MSU) is one of the key providers of educational services and communication activities for the Russian Federal Program of training the administrative reserve. The authors analyze the basic principles that determine the approach of SPA MSU to the implementation of this Program.
