The internal stability of the fractal structure of interstellar clouds in the Galaxy is considered. The conditions under which gravitational interactions between components lead to disruption of the fractal structure are clarified. Model numerical calculations and analytical estimates of the characteristic time of decay of structures are made. It is found that this time is on the same order as the lifetime of interstellar molecular clouds determined from observations.
