VLA maps obtained at 1.4 GHz with a resolution of 2\farcs5$\times$2\arcsec for three sources and 6\farcs5$\times$2\farcs3 for two sources detected in the RATAN-600 Zenith survey of 1988 have been analyzed. All five objects have an extended structure. Continuous radio spectra of these objects prepared by using the CATS database and RATAN-600 observations are given. All five objects have linear steep spectra ($\alpha < -0.65$). Using APM database and DSS we have found three candidates for identification. Two radio sources have been observed with the 6 m telescope. The nature of the studied objects, one of which is classified as QSO (BSO) and two others as galaxies, is discussed. One of the radio sources, RZ5, being a merging group of one large and several small galaxies, may have appeared in this process.
