Abstract
The first observation of a new physical phenomenon - appearance of mac roturbulence in type-II superconductors - is reported. It is found tha t during the remagnetization of high-T(c) single crystals in some temp erature range the flux lines are condensed into ''drops'' of increased density which then move as hydrodynamical vortices. The observed stru ctures are treated as the development of current instability resulting in the formation of turbulent current structures.
