These political unrests have prompted international and regional governments and financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Central Bank to find a way to end this severe financial crisis. Greece, as one of the EU member states that has been affected by this global crisis, has made efforts to improve its economic situation. The main question of this study is to what extent the International Monetary Fund was able to help resolve the financial crisis in Greece? The hypothesis is that due to the conditionality of financial aid from the International Monetary Fund to Greece in crisis and Greece’s lack of attention to the full implementation of austerity programs, such financial aid has not been able to save the Greece economy from financial crisis. One of the aims of this study is to what extent developing countries can rely on IMF recommendations to overcome the financial crisis. The aim of the research is to find out why International Monetary Fund could not adopt proper monetary and financial policy to settle the financial crisis in Greece. Moreover, the reasons behind failed attempts of Greece’s policymakers to implement IMF’s austerity measures in their country are sought.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Экономический кризис в Соединенных Штатах и его распространение на континентальную Европу вызвали финансовый кризис на европейских фондовых рынках. Объемы производства в Европе сократились, что привело к росту безработицы и, как следствие, к протестам против текущей экономической ситуации. Эти политические волнения побудили правительства и международные и региональные финансовые институты, такие как Международный валютный фонд, Всемирный банк, Европейский центральный банк и др., найти способ положить конец серьезному финансовому кризису. Греция как одно из государств - членов ЕС, пострадавших от глобального кризиса, приложила усилия для улучшения своего экономического положения. Главный вопрос исследования: в какой степени Международный валютный фонд помог разрешить греческий финансовый кризис? Гипотеза состоит в том, что греческий кризис существует из-за обусловленности финансовой помощи от Международного валютного фонда и Греция не обращает внимания на полную реализацию программ жесткой экономии. Поэтому финансовая помощь МВФ не смогла спасти греческую экономику от финансового кризиса. Цели исследования - понять, в какой степени развивающиеся страны могут полагаться на рекомендации МВФ для преодоления финансового кризиса, и установить, почему Международный валютный фонд не смог принять надлежащую денежно-кредитную и финансовую политику для урегулирования финансового кризиса в Греции. Также выясняются причины неудачных попыток греческих политиков осуществить меры жесткой экономии МВФ в своей стране.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>neoliberal institutionalism</kwd><kwd>globalization</kwd><kwd>neoliberalism</kwd><kwd>International Monetary Fund</kwd><kwd>Greece economic crisis</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>неолиберальный институционализм</kwd><kwd>глобализация</kwd><kwd>неолиберализм</kwd><kwd>Международный валютный фонд</kwd><kwd>греческий экономический кризис</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Baylis, J., &amp; Smith S.
