We review classical monopole solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory.The first part is a pedagogical introduction into to the basic features of thecelebrated 't Hooft - Polyakov monopole. In the second part we describe newclasses of static axially symmetric solutions which generalise 't Hooft -Polyakov monopole. These configurations are either deformations of thetopologically trivial sector or the sectors with different topological charges.In both situations we construct the solutions representing the chains ofmonopoles and antimonopoles in static equilibrium. The solutions of anothertype are closed vortices which are centred around the symmetry axis and formdifferent bound systems. Configurations of the third type are monopoles boundedwith vortices. We suggest classification of these solutions which is relatedwith 2d Poincare index.Comment: 34 pages, 8 figures. Invited contribution prepared for Review Volume  "Etudes on Theoretical Physics" dedicated to 65th anniversary of the  Department of Theoretical Physics, Belarus State University, Minsk. Based on  a work in collaboration with Jutta Kunz and Burkhard Kleihaus. Any comments  and suggestions, especially with respect to references, are welcom
