Scientific paper

In the present work we consider the questions of star formation and evolution of nearby dwarf galaxies. We describe the method of star formation history determination based on multicolor photometry of re- solved stars and models of color-magnitude diagrams of the galaxies. We present the results of star formation rate determination and its dependence on age and metallicity for dwarf irregular and dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the two nearby galaxy groups M81 and Cen A. Similar age of the last episode of star formation in the central part of the M81 group and also unusually high level of metal en- richment in the several galaxies of the Cen A group have to be mentioned. We pay special attention to the consideration of perspectives of star formation study in nearby dwarf galaxies with the new WSO-UV observatory.
