On the basis of a secondary analysis of the results of sociological research, the main directions of the analysis of the genesis and further development of the phenomenon of post-Soviet science are outlined. The main attention is paid to the problem of the influence of the global socio-economic and socio-cultural contexts on the formation of system-forming elements and factors that determine the development of the domestic system for the production of scientific knowledge. An essential part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the consequences of the radical reform of the academic sector for the fate of Russian science. It is concluded that science in Russia has been able to successfully adapt to the new conditions of activity, has learned to successfully combine scientific research and commercial interests. At the same time, the excessive dependence of the sphere of fundamental research on the state determines the weakness of science, its weak participation in the innovative development of the country.
