In 1986 the programme “The Northern Cone of Metagalaxy” has been finished with the 6-meter Telescope. In the course of the programme redshifts of all very rich compact clusters of galaxies inside the cone with galactic latitude and indirect estimates of redshifts ZLB < 0.28 have been measured. The total volume of the investigated region is V ≈ 500·106 Mpc3 (we accept Hubble constant H=50 km/s Mpc−1). A number of possible indications of existence of inhomogeneities in the Universe on scales greater than 100 Mpc are obtained: 1) the void of 400 Mpc in size; 2) the flat stratum of 150 Mpc thickness and 1000 Mpc diameter; 3) two-point space correlation function ξ (R = 200–300 Mpc) = 0.5±0.2. We found no indications that topology of the Universe is non-Euclidean on scales of 20–200 Mpc.
