Scientific paper

The results are given of accurate computations of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation in homogeneous anisotropic universes with flat spacelike hypersurfaces. The degree of polarization never exceeds twice the maximum temperature quadrupole anisotropy, and its value is found to be very sensitive both to the mass fraction in the form of hydrogen and to its ionization history. There is no spectral distortion to first order.
