Abstract.

The magnetosphere of a supermassive black hole is the region in which a super powerful particle accelerator operates. The scale of this region is only about a few Schwarzschild radii. A synchrotron emission of this volume is probably generated by relativistic protons. The most convenient objects for the investigation of these processes are interday variable radio sources. A short description and the operation of the RADIOASTRON Earth-Space interferometer are also discussed.
