Five color UBVRI photometric and polarimetric measurements of the eclipsing binary VW Cyg are reported. It is shown that in the primary minimum the luminosity is attenuated (at short wavelengths) even after passage of the second contact. This fact is interpreted as evidence of gaseous structures in the system. The exchange of matter among the system components is also confirmed by the O-C curve constructed from data covering nearly a hundred years. Polarimetric analysis makes it possible to isolate the intrinsic (P=0.030±0.02) and interstellar components of the polarization. The UBVRI light curves of VW Cyg have been resolved. This was done using an algorithm for synthesizing theoretical light curves in the Roche model. Good agreement was obtained between the theoretical curves and observations in the V, R, and I bands, but the observed minimum depths in the U and B bands exceed the theoretical values. This appears to be caused by gas flows in the system.
