It is shown that massive objects can be ejected symmetrically in two opposite directions from the nucleus of a giant elliptical galaxy only under special initial conditions. A way of obtaining these conditions is outlined, and the resulting picture of evolution of galactic nuclei, including a quasar or a Seyfert galaxy phase, is shown to be compatible with observations.
