The basic properties of highly evolved close binary systems are described. In these systems the first mass exchange between the components is completed and peculiar objects are formed: Wolf-Rayet stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes. The observational characteristics of these systems are in agreement with the modern theory of evolution of close binary systems. Investigations of these systems are very important for astrophysics and fundamental physics. In particular, more than 20 black hole candidates of stellar masses have been discovered up till now in highly evolved close binaries. A Catalogue of Highly Evolved Close Binaries is described as well as its new electronic version, the work on that is in progress at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute. Outstanding ob- servational appearances of highly evolved close binary systems make this class of objects to be very promising for investigations in UV range.
