Annotation

In the framework of the limited planar circular three-body problem it is shown that asteroids, which are unstable according to Hill, nevertheless can have stable orbits in the case of the first-order resonances. The limits and periods of changes in the eccentricities have been calculated for asteroids of the Hilda group.
