We give a brief review of a problem of dark matter in the Universe. The key questions regarding dark matter are discussed: what is the distribution of dark matter at different scales? What is the nature of dark matter? Is there baryonic dark matter? We discuss a few new techniques of the investigation of dark matter in the Universe. We discuss the peculiar periodic dependence of the initial spectrum of the baryonic matter distribution on wavelength at the moment of recombination (Sakharov oscillations). Sakharov oscillations should manifest themselves by the specific anomalies in the angular correlation function of the microwave background anisotropy on scales 10′ – 2°, practically in any cosmological model. We discuss special methods for filtering of this effect in the observational data.
