The rotation of the plane of polarization of a photon induced by the gravitational field of a rotating source with an electric or magnetic charge is considered in detail. An exact expression is obtained for the angle of rotation of the plane of polarization of a photon propagating along a geodesic of arbitrary form in space-time of the D type according to the Petrov classification. The geometric system of units c = G = 1 and the metric signature +2 are used. It is shown that observations of polarization-plane rotation can be used as a test of general relativity as well as a means of determining the physical characteristics of a rotating charged black hole or a neutron star.
