Studies on flagellate algae conducted in the Russian waters of the Far Eastern seas in the last century and at the beginning of the present one are briefly reviewed and their level of knowledge is analyzed. A total of 412 species of phytophlagellates were found in the studied water area, belonging to 7 divisions and 10 classes. A list of 117 species from 6 divisions and 9 classes is given in the paper; Dinophyta (Dinophyceae), with 295 species, is excluded. The authors conclude that only Dinophyta are farily well studied. The remaining groups of flagellate algae are poorly investigated, especially the shell-less phytophlagellates of the Sea of Okhotsk and the area of the Pacific Ocean near Kurile. Flagellates of the open waters, in particular of the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea, are insufficiently studied.
