Scientific paper

We present the first ever simultaneous optical linear and circular polarization observations of blazars. These polarizations have been measured simultaneously in UBVRI-bands in three blazars; 3C 66A, OJ 287 and Markarian 421. Measured linear polarization in 3C 66A was the largest ever observed, at PR equals 33.1 plus/minus .5%. In 3C 66A we detected small circular polarization on the other bands, except U. In OJ 287 we detected variable circular polarization in the U-band.
