Annotation: The article is devoted to the definition of the concept of illegal interest and its role in qualifying the abuse of the right. The coverage of legitimate interest in legislation and judicial practice is considered. It is noted, that the legislator pays quite a lot of attention to the protection of legitimate interests in many legal acts, but does not give it legislative consolidation. The interpretation of this definition by the courts has a different character and does not always coincide. At the same time, illicit interest is a criterion for determining the most important legal category of abuse of the right. The presence of an unlawful interest of a person indicates his/her intention to violate the rights of other persons or bad faith behavior expressed in an indifferent attitude to the violation of the rights of participants in legal relations. The article also identified the distinctive features of a legitimate interest and defined the boundaries of its determination by the courts. Based on the results, a definition of abuse of the right is drawn up, which emphasizes the role of illegal interest in this legal category.

Annotation: The article contains an analysis of the municipal government reform in the regions of the Russian Federation, including issues of the organization of municipal external financial control in the subjects of the Russian Federation. It is known that the procedure for creating an effective mechanism for the work of the municipal government is not possible without an effective system of financial control at the municipal level. Basing on the example of the Chuvash Republic, we have justified the need for a transition from a two-level system of local government to a one-level system. At the same time, arguments are given in favor of transferring the authority to conduct municipal external financial control from the control and accounting bodies of the Ministry of Defense to the control and accounting bodies of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The above actions should practically contribute to compliance with the basic principles within the framework of financial external control. First of all, positive changes will occur in relation to the principle of independence, and therefore the effectiveness and objectivity of such control will be justified.

Annotation: Due to the rapid development of information and communication links and the active entry of Russian corporations into international markets, the issues of protection of intangible benefits are increasingly becoming the object of legal science research.
