Abstract: Our main goal is to show that the Gelfand--Tsetlin toric degeneration of the type A flag variety can be obtained within a degenerate representation-theoretic framework similar to the theory of PBW degenerations. In fact, we provide such frameworks for all Gr"obner degenerations intermediate between the flag variety and the GT toric variety. These degenerations are shown to induce filtrations on the irreducible representations and the associated graded spaces are acted upon by a certain associative algebra. To achieve our goal, we construct embeddings of our Gr"obner degenerations into the projectivizations of said associated graded spaces in terms of this action. We also obtain an explicit description of the maximal cone in the tropical flag variety that parametrizes the Gr"obner degenerations we consider. In an addendum we propose an alternative solution to the problem which relies on filtrations and gradings by non-abelian ordered semigroups.
