However, all economic indicators show that, though the country is still among the world leaders in the military industry and nuclear energy, its attempts to achieve success in civilian industries have not yet provided the intended outcome. The article presents a systembased explanation of the model of spasmodic technological development in Russia and the reasons behind the failure of the authorities to form an innovative economy. The cultural concept of Loren Graham constitutes the methodological basis of the study. According to the concept, the main problem of Russia is a lack of Western business values embedded in the country’s culture.
