We have used a CORAVEL-type spectrometer on small telescopes (70-cm, Moscow observatory, Russia; 60- and 100-cm, Simeiz observatory, Crimea, Ukraine and some others) for systematic observations of northern sky stars, since 1987 (Rastorguev & Glushkova, 1997; Gorynya et al., 1998). The typical accuracy of a single measurement is about 0.5 km/s. The limiting magnitude is 14 in V-band. The young Galaxy disk population, metal-poor stars and Kaptein selected areas are the important parts of our program. In this paper we present new results on galactic kinematics and our future program.
