We present the results of an analysis of Hα monochromatic and spectral observations obtained at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory for an impressive filament eruption during a flare occurred on June 7, 2011. Our ground-based observations are combined with data acquired by multiple instruments onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO/AIA, SDO/HMI). The evolution and dynamics of the eruptive process, the cause of eruption, the structure of the line-of-sight velocity field and fine internal structure of the eruptive filament are studied and a number of physical parameters of the eruptive filament are determined. The results of the analysis have shown that: 1) The evolution of the filament eruption consists of two phases: the slow-rise phase, which began about two hours before the flare onset, and the fast-rise phase, which began almost simultaneously with the flare onset. 2) The eruptive filament had a very complex internal structure and complicated line-of-sight velocity field. The filament does not erupt as a single structure. Several discrete massive absorption fragments are seen with a large number of fine-structure elements inside fragments with different velocities, as well as many plasma blobs that detach from the fragments. 3) The motion of the filament fragments is a combination of rotational motion around the axis of the fragment and a movement as a whole towards the observer. The velocities of such plasma motions are determined. 4) Hα line profiles show a large variety of contrast values, Doppler half-widths and Doppler shifts in eruptive filament elements.
