Some perturbative approaches to the QCD description of the deep-inelas
tic ep scattering at the small Bjorken variable x are reviewed. It is
shown, that in the leading logarithmic approximation the gluon is regg
eized and the pomeron is a compound state of two reggeized gluons. The
relation between the Schrodinger equation for the compound state of s
everal reggeized gluons in the multi-colour QCD and the completely int
egrable Heisenberg spin model is discussed. The effective action for t
he gluon-Reggeon interactions is constructed and applied to the proble
m of finding next to leading corrections to the QCD pomeron.
