Abstract
The article deals with the problem of the impact of the economic crisis on the innovative behavior of Russian companies. It is shown that the current crisis did not have significant impact on the model of innovative behavior of companies. Some decrease in innovation activity is more likely due to medium-term trends in the development of innovative processes and unfavorable macroeconomic dynamics.
