In the present paper we prove the main structure theorem for Chevalley groups G = G(Φ, R) of types Φ = E6,E7 over a commutative ring R. More precisely, we describe subgroups in G normalized by the elementary subgroup E(Φ, R). This result is not new, since structure theorems are known for all Chevalley groups [25, 27, 28, 30], [38]–[40], and [58, 61] (see [42, 65, 34, 56] for further references)...
