Abstract
We propose a special experiment for direct measurement of polarized gl uon distributions in the collision of real high-energy photons with po larized nuclear target. A polarized photon beam is obtained through Co mpton back-scattering of laser photons off electrons from a ring-type accelerator (LEP, TRISTAN, HERA). In our opinion, the realization of t his experiment will play a principal role in solving the so-called <<s pin crisis>>.
