Abstract: The inclusion of rules governing the contract of adhesion in Article 428 of the civil code of the Russian Federation (Civil Code) in 1995 became one of the most important steps in the development of Russian contract law in accordance with the principles of freedom of contract, equality of parties and good faith. Legal doctrine of adhesion contracts is still of current interest due to lack of clear common understanding of its meaning in the Russian civil juris prudence and court practice despite there centamendments to Division III �general part of the law of obligations� of the Civil Code. Using the results of their comparative research the researchers of this study define the notion of unfair contract terms, determine the most effective model of judicial over sigh tover contracts as well as propose the ways of enhancing the protection of weak contractual party.
