Abstract

Observational results on flare stars in the Galaxy and their interpretation, based on the observational approach to early stages of stellar evolution at Byurakan, are considered. The evolutionary path of red flare stars is determined. Stellar flare activity is explained as an internal phenomenon of stars. The significance of photographic observations of stellar flares in star clusters and associations is emphasized.
