- Abstract: It is shown that any consistent interpretation of modern quantum mechanics is impossible, since its axiomatics is contradictory and incomplete: its provisions that the wave function in the Schr\"{o}dinger representation always describes pure states, and the wave function describing pure states imposes only statistical restrictions on the values of observables, are erroneous.
