The main goal of the MASTER-Net project is to produce a unique fast sky survey with all sky observed over a single night down to a limiting magnitude of 20-21 mag. All MASTER telescopes can be guided by alerts, and we observe prompt optical emission from gamma-ray bursts synchronously in several filters and in several polarization planes. Such a survey will make it possible to address a number of fundamental problems: GRB (neutron stars merging or gravitational collaps of massive stars),multimessanger gravitational wave and high energy neutrino observations, search for dark energy via the discovery and photometry of supernovas (including SNIa), discovery of minor bodies in the Solar System including Hazard asteroids. Several bright results of MASTER observations will presented: discovery of prompt optical Gamma-Ray Burst emisson polarisation, Unique Red Nova in M31 detection, V404 Cyg microquasar optical variable polarisetion discovery.
