Abstract
The change of the precession angle is studied analytically and numerically for the integrable tops of Kovalevskaya and Goryachev-Chaplygin. Based on the known results on the topology of Liouville foliations for these systems, we find initial conditions for which the average change of the precession angle is zero or can be estimated asymptotically. Some more difficult cases are studied numerically.
