All the 1971 - 1982 data (5 - 15 GHz) on superluminal motions in the VLBI structure of 3C 345 are compared with its optical variability in the B band. The extrapolated moments of ejection of the compact jet components well coincide with the initial phases of the "slow" optical flares (with characteristic times of 1 - 2 ys) observed since 1966. The beginning of the last optical s-flare with maximum brightness in 1982 - 1983 is consistent with the time of ejection of the newly detected jet component. The s-flares correlate with the total flux density variations at 10.7 GHz with time delays of about 400 - 1000 days. The authors conclude that part of the optical variability of extragalactic objects must be connected with jet events in their nuclei.
