The Baikal Neutrino Telescope NT-200 has been put into operation on April 6
th, 1998. We describe the parameters and structure of NT-200 and present re
sults with various stages of the stepwise increasing detector: from NT-36 t
o NT-96. Results cover atmospheric muons, neutrino events, search for neutr
ino events from WIMPS annihilation, search for magnetic monopoles. We also
give preliminary results of the combined operation of the underwater array
and a Cherenkov EAS array, placed on the ice surface.
