Present-day galactic dynamo theories widely use a concept of the ISM turbulence. In the present paper a statistical method of MHD turbulence study is discussed. The method is based on the solution of the inverse problem for the observational data. It is shown that in many important cases the inverse problem has a unique analytical solution. Examples, including the study of a random density field and a random magnetic field, are discussed.
