Abstract
The point of view is substantiated that during periods of low sunspot activity many heliospheric characteristics (the solar wind velocity, the form of the heliospheric current sheet, the strength of the heliospheric magnetic field) can be considered as the manifestations in the heliosphere of the poloidal branch of solar activity. As these characteristics strongly influence the process of the GCR transport through the heliosphere the contribution of the poloidal branch of solar activity to the GCR solar modulation should also be substantial. This conclusion is at odds with the wide-spread belief that the modulated GCR intensity is mainly determined by the sunspot cycle.
