Effect of the "random anisotropy" type disorder on orientation of the magnetization in an amorphous magnet is considered. It is shown, that the principal corrections to the free energy of the magnet originate from the fluctuations of the order parameter in the direction of its degeneracy. The types of disorder are found, which lift the continuous degeneracy and suppress the Larkin-Imry-Ma mechanism of disruption of the long-range order in continuously degenerate systems.
