Abstract: A. G. Aganbegyan’s became an occasion for introspection on the financial situation in post-Communist Russia. The usage of extensive empirical evidence, specific facts, author’s observation, additional analytical material and theoretical foundations, demonstrates that persistent financial problems of the country are not unrelated deficiencies, but rather a systemic disorganization. The author reveals their content, which allows asserting that without determination of these disorganizing factors, revitalization of the financial system is not to be expected. The key factors of systemic disorganization include: subjectlesness; oligarchical capitalism; deindustrialization and primitivization of the economy; nationalization and bureaucratization of the economy; separation of economic actions from the norms of ethics and fairness. The scientific novelty consists in defining the factors of systemic disorganization. The conclusion is made that the country is facing a long and difficult way towards overcoming systemic disorganization in all spheres of management and life, but it is still on a civilized market path.
