Analysis of Russian Scientific Schools of Risk Management

The goal of the article is to study establishment and scientific developments of Russian schools of risk management, revelation of Russian scientific schools of risk management and allocation of problems that are not solved and directions of scientific research. Analysing and generalising scientific works of representatives of Russian scientific schools of risk management, the article studies establishment of these schools and systemises opinions of the scientists. The conducted study showed that Russian scientific schools of risk management are at the stage of formation and actively develop. This is confirmed by high urgency of the problem of risk management under modern conditions of cyclic development of the world economy, especially after the financial and economic crisis of 2008 - 2009, which contributed to the growth of the number of scientific research and publications on this problem, both by famous and young scientists. At the same time, the modern scientific publications study and develop only individual issues of risk management and technologies, methods and methodology of risk management are studied insufficiently, while quite a number of scientific studies are devoted to the problem of assessment of individual types of risks, study of financial risks and issues of risk management in the banking sphere. The conducted study allowed establishment of the fact that two leading schools of risk management develop today in Russia: Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. Analysis of scientific studies of the Russian schools of risk management will be continued in the next scientific publications.
