This paper focuses attention on the issue of the denition of public interest, in particular,

on the fact that the public interest lies in the organization of the most ecient protection

system, one that also protects against possible abuse of power by the State itself. The

paper argues that the adopti on of the Administrative Court Proceed ings Code of the

Russian Federation was a mistake and demonstrates that the mechanisms implemented

in the code to protect public interests are inecient.

Keywords: public interest; state interests; administrative legal proceedings; Administrative

Court Proceedings Code of the Russian Federation.
