The first cases of the disease caused by pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus in the territory of the Russian Federation were registered at the end of May, 2009. 3 strains of pandemic (H1N1)2009 influenza virus were isolated from patients. Properties of the strains isolated in the territory of Russia were studied in comparison with those of two reference strains A/California/04/2009(H1N1) and A/California/07/2009(H1N1)v. Analysis of primary gene sequence and examination of biological properties of the strains isolated in the territory of Russia suggested their close relationship with A/California/04/2009(H1N1)v and A/California/07/2009(H1N1)v strains.
