Propagation of Cosmic Rays in the Galaxy

The review of theoretical aspects of cosmic ray transport in the Galaxy. The interpretation of data on cosmic ray energy spectrum, composition and anisotropy is presented. The model of cosmic ray origin in supernova remnants, the interpretation of Voyager data on low energy cosmic rays, the nature of “knee” in cosmic ray spectrum at energy 3 PeV are discussed.
