Abstract: We introduce the notion of finite BRST-antiBRST transformations, both global and field-dependent, with a doublet $lambd{a}_a$, $a=1,2$, of anticommuting Grassmann parameters and find explicit Jacobians corresponding to these changes of variables in Yang-Mills theories. It turns out that the finite transformations are quadratic in their parameters. At the same time, exactly as in the case of finite field-dependent BRST transformations for the Yang-Mills vacuum functional, special field-dependent BRST-antiBRST transformations, with $s_a$-potential parameters $lambd{a}_a=s_{a}Lambda$ induced by a finite even-valued functional $Lambda$ and by the anticommuting generators $s_a$ of BRST-antiBRST transformations, amount to a precise change of the gauge-fixing functional. This proves the independence of the vacuum functional under such BRST-antiBRST transformations. We present the form of transformation parameters that generates a change of the gauge in the path integral and evaluate it explicitly for connecting two arbitrary $R_{xi}$-like gauges. For arbitrary differentiable gauges, the finite field-dependent BRST-antiBRST transformations are used to generalize the Gribov horizon functional $h$, given in the Landau gauge, and being an additive extension of the Yang-Mills action by the Gribov horizon functional in the Gribov-Zwanziger model. This generalization is achieved in a manner consistent with the study of gauge independence. We also discuss an extension of finite BRST-antiBRST transformations to the case of general gauge theories and present an ansatz for such transformations.
