Abstract
Progress in realization of the NICA project in JINR is outlined with special attention paid to results of the latest Nuclotron upgrades. The most important of them are (1) renewal of the polarized deuteron beam with kinetic energy up to Tkin ∼ 5 GeV/nucleon, now available for experiments with fixed targets, and (2) successful acceleration in the Nuclotron (and extraction from it) of relativistic polarized protons.
