of a rigid body with one fixed point in the Sophia Kovalevskaya’s case is discussed in this work. The differential equations of motion of the system are given and it is shown that the system may rotate around Ox with a constant angular velocity. Taking this motion as unexcited, the differential equations for the corresponding excited motion were drawn up. Then the system was linearized and a control action was introduced along one of the generalized coordinates. The optimal stabilization problem for part of the variables was posed and solved. The graphs of optimal trajectories and optimal control were constructed.
