Abstract
The aim of the article is to provide for a comparative study of a conceptualization of the “interests of the child” category in Russian and international law. It is noted that this notion is restrictively interpreted in Russia due to the criteria of a legality of interests. Also, there is no priority of the interests of the child among the interests of the other parties in the dispute. Such an approach nurtured the practice when the courts of law avoid detailing which interests of the child were to be protected in a concrete case and how actions undertaken by the relevant authorities addressed this need and use the concept to limit the right of the child to express his/her views. These practices often become an object of critique by international human rights bodies.
