Photoelectric observations of Cyg X-1 in 1996-97 fulfilled in Tien-Shan, Kazakhstan (WBVR), Mt. Maidanak, Uzbekistan (UBVR) and in Crimea, Ukraine (UBV) have detected unusual optical flare activity. During May-August 1996 Cyg X-1 was in high soft X-ray state and after August 9, 1996 it returned to its ordinary state but with some evidences of X-ray activity.
