| Summary: | The article deals with the peculiarities of the current global economic crisis and discusses whether the crisis can give an impetus to a new development model. The author emphasizes that as the crisis is caused by external shock (the pandemic), it is very different from other types of economic crises and can be followed by serious civilizational consequences. The pandemic is the price for globalization. During the crisis, governments face an unsolvable dilemma: saving lives or preserving the economy (that is, future lives), with a significant credit of trust of the population. In such a period, a society has a chance to improve the path of its development (get out of the path dependence). In particular, the author discusses institutional changes needed in contemporary Russia to make this happen, namely the tax system revision and the law enforcement agencies reform.
