Abstract: A review is given of the experimental results on high-temperature superconducting ceramics (oxides) published in the form of papers and preprints. A brief account is given of the history of the discovery of a new classical superconducting ceramics, and the methods of their preparation as well as the main physical properties are described. The mechanism of superconductivity of these materials is discussed.
