Abstract
It is difficult to prepare an invited paper on topics which are ABC for any specialist in Solar Physics. I considered my task as a systematization of a lot of information about cyclic and secular variations of solar activity rather than an account of new striking results in order to illustrate a certain concept. I beg your pardon in advance for possible defects in my report and for lack of time to quote all related papers.
