title: [Problems of radiobiology at the end of the 20th century].
abstract: The modern radiation biology is characterized by an increased interest in the effects of small doses. Some investigators consider the small doses of radiation as having the larger damaging efficacy than the higher doses, the majority of researchers hold the opinion of their decreased danger, while some scientist favor the hypothesis of hormesis the positive effect of the small doses of radiation exposure. The article describes new approaches to the development of the unified scientific strategy for resolving this problem.
