Scientific paper

Optical spectra of the NGC 4151 with the TV scanner of the 6-m telescope during 1986-1991 are presented. Spectra averaged over periods of about 2.5 months show changes of asymmetry of the He II 4686 A broad emission line with a characteristic time scale of about 2 yr (the full cycle of the changes is approximately 4 yr). Possible explanations involving a precession-type movement of cones of ionizing radiation are discussed.
