The integrity right language is intended to safeguard the intangible interests which connect an author to his work. The right is a recognition of the work as an extension of the author's personality, where it is significant how the work will be used, in what form and under what circumstances. In the legal literature in the analysis of the right to the integrity of the work is almost no attention on existing models (concepts) of this law. Meanwhile the knowledge and understanding of such models promotes effective lawmaking and correct application already right effective standards in considered sphere. The purpose of this article is the critical analysis of the Russian model of the right to the integrity of the work and the decision of a question on conformity of the given model to norms of international law.

In work models of the right to the integrity of the work fixed in laws on the copyright of such foreign countries, as France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Byelorussia, Moldovia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, China are considered. It is noticed that in the different countries the granted author’s moral rights is in many ways, such as the right to respect for the work, the author's right to protection of reputation, the right to the integrity of the work.

Positions of article 1266 of the Civil code of the RF where the right to the integrity of the work are analyzed. These positions don't correspond to article 6 bis to the Bern convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works as they don't protect the author from contextual derogatory actions in relation on work.

In article conclusion the formulation of the right to the integrity of the work is offered optimum for the modern Russian right. The author has the right to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of work and also to any other derogatory action in relation to work which can damage personal, creative or spiritual interests of the author (the right to the integrity of the work).
