Zusammenfassung:The studies of blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine are reviewed. The following problems are discussed: 1) the importance of BCDs for cosmological studies; 2) properties of extremely metaldeficient BCDs; 3) a primordial helium abundance and the baryon mass fraction in the Universe; 4) heavy element abundances in large samples of BCDs; 5) properties of massive stellar populations; 6) properties of the oldest stellar populations; 7) the evolutionary status of BCDs.
