Scientific paper

Significant polarization of the total emission of the high-redshift radio galaxy 3C 265 has been detected. The polarization position angle is roughly perpendicular to the axis of the radio emission and to the major axis of the UV emission of the galaxy in both B and R passbands. The observed high level of polarization and orientation of the polarization position angle suggest that a substantial fraction of the observed UV emission is scattered light. The data show no evidence of frequency dependence in the polarization between B and R.
