Abstrakt: The propagation of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays from nearby sources is studied. It is shown that the spectrum, chemical composition, and anisotropy observed at energies above 5 × 1018 eV can be explained within the model of one nearby galaxy (M87) if the source is strongly enriched with heavy nuclei.
