Popis: We study the close proximity of the well-known and well-studied 3C31 class FRI radio galaxy in order to reveal the influence of the environment on an extragalactic radio source. It was shown that about 110 million years ago the galaxies NGC 380 and NGC 386 were located near the galaxy NGC 383 (the parent galaxy of 3C31). On the other hand, the modeling of the spectral characteristics of the radio emission of the central part of the radio galaxy 3C31 gives an estimate of the age of the central jet of about 100 million years. Therefore, it can be assumed that one of the possible reasons for the appearance or resumption of the radioactivity of the galaxy NGC 383 may be a triple close passage of galaxies.
