Some results obtained in the study of the heavy nuclei collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, BNL, USA) are presented. Side by side with the observables studied for lower than at the RHIC energy (soft spectrum, particle ratios, flows, and so on) the observables specific for the RHIC energy connected with the jet quenching effect and Color Glass Condensate (CGC) are discussed. The preliminary results as well as the set-up of the RHIC experiments are not described.
