Spectral observations of five solar flares in 1981 and 1989 performed with a circular polarization analyzer are studied. Direct measurements of the Zeeman splitting of the emission in the Fe I, Fe II, Na I, He I, and H I lines show that the strength of the longitudinal magnetic field is in the range between 10-20 and 350 mT. At the He I emission formation level, the magnetic strength is 120-180 mT. It is argued that the strong magnetic fields in flares arise owing to the magnetic tube twists in the upper layer of the solar atmosphere.
