      The paper contains the critical analysis of Faddeev's paper reviewed above. The energy of a system as obtained in general relativity from the traditional Hamiltonian approach is shown to be dependent on the choice of space-coordinate system. As a result it may take any arbitrary value. It means that such an approach leads to physically meaningless results. The authors declare that in the theory of Einstein a solution of the energy problem is not possible.
