Description:
    The results of coordinated Crimea-Dodaira simultaneous multi-bands
    photometric and polarimetric observations of the classical Herbig
    Ae/Be star RR Tau which cover fully the observed interval of its
    brightness changes are presented. Within the observed interval of its
    light variations the linear polarization of RR Tau anti-correlates
    with its brightness changes.
