SUMMARY 2 1.     The relatively high angular and, especially, temporal resolution of the SSRT, together with the adequate sensitivity, made it possible to considerably extend our research to almost all forms of solar activity.  2.     However, two factors: the obsolescence of the SSRT systems and the need to switch over to advanced diagnostics of events in the Sun’s atmosphere which call for substantial improvement of the speed for obtaining radio images, a simultaneous recording of the processes occurring under different physical conditions, or a three-dimensional picture of their development - led us in 1997 to the decision to create - on the basis of modernizing the SSRT - a new-generation instrument, the multiwave radioheliograph (MVRH).  3.     We are well aware of the expediency of creating the new instrument meeting all demands of the near future. Therefore, we fully support the ideas behind the creation of the FASR and other new radio telescopes. Considering the realistic financial conditions in Russia, the ISTP is working on two versions of SSRT conversion to MVRH which differ by the speed, the methods of frequency conversion, collection of signals from the antennas, and by the rate of obtaining radio images (in the modes of frequency scanning and aperture synthesis). They show that in Russia it is possible to create - with moderate expenses - a multiwave radioheliograph in the frequency range 2-10 GHz.
