Abstract
The present status of the Baikal deep underwater neutrino experiment i s reviewed. The design and performance of the large deep underwater Ch erenkov detector for muons and neutrinos, NT-200 (neutrino telescope w ith 200 phototubes), which is currently under construction in Lake Bai kal, are described. Some results obtained with the intermediate detect ors NT-36 (1993-1995), NT-72 (1995 to 1996), and NT-96 (1996 to 1997) are presented. They include the first clear neutrino candidates select ed in the 1994 and 1996 data samples.
