Abstract
In this paper, we present a survey of results on automorphisms of distance-regular graphs obtained at the department of algebra and topology of IMM UB RAS in the last five years. Also, we explain the Higman method of application of the character theory to the investigation of automorphisms of distance-regular graphs.
