For the purpose of studying further the characteristics of the fluxes of high-energy electrons observed in the region of the Brazilian anomaly in an experiment on the Salyut-6 orbiter, measurements have been performed on the Bolgariya-1300 satellite at altitudes —900 km. It is shown that in the earth's radiation belt, the shells L=l.l-1.8 contain electrons with energies of 20-350 MeV and their fluxes are £ 104 (m2-s-sr)~~l. The spatial characteristics of this flux are presented.
