Long observation (1972 - 2009) of the powerful discrete source in Galaxy Cygnus X-3 discovered its main properties and let to develop a real model of this unique object. It is short binary system with 4.8 hour orbital period including relativistic object (neutron star or black hole) and massive star. Source most activity is seen in gamma-rays from tens MeV to thousands TeV.
