The article from a theoretical and legal position examines the legal content of the concept of "protection of cultural heritage sites". The definitions of this phenomenon available in Russian legislation and sources of international law are investigated, doctrinal views on its content are systematized. A comparative analysis of the legal categories of «state protection», «legal protection» and «preservation of cultural heritage objects» was carried out, their conceptual and terminological uncertainty was revealed. It was concluded that it is inexpedient to assess the ratio of state protection and legal protection as a part and a whole. It is justified that the preservation of cultural heritage sites in the general legal sense is the goal of their protection. It is proposed to consider the concept of protection of cultural heritage objects in two meanings: as a special technique in the mechanism of legal regulation and as a complex of legal means that ensure the preservation and legitimate use of cultural heritage objects.
