Abstract
The results of spectropolarimetric observations of three solar ''moust aches'' carried out on the Large Vacuum Solar Telescope of Baikal Obse rvatory of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics are presented. T he observed degree of polarization varies from 2-13%. The direction of the plane of polarization for a moustache with moderate intensity is tangential, and is radial for the weakest moustache. In the brightest moustache, the plane of polarization is close to radial at the line ce nter, and is tangential in the wings.
