Abstract

The problems of massive black holes in galactic nuclei of different types are reviewed. The dynamical evolution of compact star systems ends naturally in a gigantic concentrated mass of gas, containing an admixture of surviving stars, that unavoidably collapses into a black hole. The subsequent joint evolution of the remnant star system with a massive black hole at the center leads either to the phenomenon of a bright central source in the nuclei of active galaxies and quasars or to the opposite case of a dead frozen black hole in the nucleus of a normal galaxy.
