Abstract
A summary of important LEP measurements in the b-quark physics is presented . The following topics are reviewed: b-fragmentation, the spectroscopy and lifetimes of beauty hadrons, B-0-(B) over bar (0) oscillations and the extr action of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements /V-cb/ and /V -ub/.
