The electron cyclotron resonance leads to a large enhancement of radiative force, and may result in the ejection from magnetized compact stars (Mitrofanov and Pavlov, 1981). On this ground, the acceleration of charged particles by radiation in a strong magnetic field is considered. Different regimes of ejection, the dependence on intensity, spectrum, angular distribution and polarization of accelerating radiation, and the influence of the opacity of ejecting plasma are analyzed. The energy of ejected plasma is shown to increase up to relativistic values, in many cases the gamma-factor appears to be much greater than unity. A possible connection of relativistic ejection with the origin of gamma-ray bursts and other astrophysical consequences are discussed.
