This research article, prepared for the 90th anniversary of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, reviews problems of conflict of interests prevention in the context of the search of the optimum definition which most fully reflects the whole range of its possible manifestations. On the basis of the etymological analysis of the “interest” concept, the authors of the article draw the conclusion that it is the combination of the subjective and objective aspects that most fully reflects the nature of interest. At the same time the authors note that the definition norms on the conflict of interests contained in the legislation on public service in many states, including Russia, do not fully meet the requirements of law-enforcement practice. The authors suggest ways of improvement of the “conflict of interests” concept which takes into account modern realities of this legal phenomenon development.
