Abstract
Main results and achievements of 2002 - 2003 in neutrino physics are summarized. The field moves quickly to new phase with clear experimental and phenomenological programs, and with new theoretical puzzle which may lead us to discoveries of the fundamental importance. One of the main results is amazing pattern of the lepton mixing which emerges from the data. The key questions are: Does lepton mixing imply new symmetry of Nature? Is the large (maximal?) mixing related to degeneracy of the neutrino mass spectrum? In this connection priorities of the future studies are formulated.
