Abstract

In the same year as Blandford and McKee (1982), Prof. N. Bochkarev and Dr. I. Antokhin (Bochkarev and Antokhin, 1982) published an article on the reverberation method of AGN BLR structure analysis. In 1983, testing observations were carried out with the 6 m telescope.From 1986 up to now spectral monitoring of several AGNs has been carried out at SAO RAS (North Caucasus). Since 1988 we have been participating in AGN Watch Program. Since 1997 we have been carrying on an international program that is realised at several observatories of CIS (former Soviet Union) in collaboration with several West-European scientific groups (Bochkarev and Shapovalova, 1999). Some spectra of 3C390.3, one of the dimmest target objects of our program, m = 15.6 mag, taken with different telescopes are presented in Fig. 1(left).
