Abstract: This article is dedicated to the study of possibility of attribution of the joint-stock companies to the objects of public control in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the institution of public control manifests as the key legal guarantee for the implementation, protection and defense of the constitutional principles of democracy and public participation in administration of state affairs. However, the implementation of this civil society institution is accompanied by numerous problems, one of which is the definition of the concept and the list of objects of public control. In this regard, the authors explore various approaches towards the question of attribution of joint-stock companies to objects of public control. The article formulates and substantiates the original definition of the concept of “public authorities”, which imply not only authority of the state and local self-governance, but also as the combination of such rights of separate subjects of law, the realization of which directly affects the mechanism of implementation, observation, protection and defense of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of a wide range of citizens of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens, stateless persons, legal entities, as well as public authority bodies, including local self-governance. Therefore, it appears that joint-stock companies should be classified as a variety of the objects of public control. However, the possibility of organization and implementation of public control over their activity requires introducing certain amendments to the current legislation.
