The problem of the activity of extragalactic objects is one of the main problems of current astrophysics. There are many manifestations of activity but the photometric and polarimetric variability in IR, optical, UV and X-ray regions is probably one of the most important. The sources responsible for the variability are placed in the nearest neighbourhood of a central engine. Clarifying the nature of these sources might give a tool to the solution of the problem of nuclear activity in general.
