Abstract
The Palatini variational principle for the Hilbert-type gravitational theories is generalised to the case of manifolds with boundaries. The surface terms, which should be added to the volume action integral are obtained for the general metric-affine theory and for the Einstein-Cartan theory with torsion.Keywords
