At present data exist showing that in some regions of the corona the polarization degree has been found to be higher than the maximum possible value determined by Thomson scattering. Besides this, there exist regions where the direction of the prevailing vibration of the E-vector does not coincide with the tangential one. This may be caused by the velocity of scattered electrons. The theory of polarization taking the velocity into account is given, and the above-mentioned data are discussed. The direction of polarization turns out to be the sensitive detector of fact electrons (for energy of 5 keV, the deviation angle ~ 10~
Very important data about accelerated electrons on the Sun may be received from precise measurements of the corona polarization. Solar Physics 28 (1973) 465-475.

Polarizational observations of the solar eclipse we made (Chukotka, 10 July, 1972) allowed us to hope for obtaining a high accuracy in determination of the polarization-plane direction.
