The stages of the formation of benthos and periphyton in reservoirs of the upper reaches of the Volga river were analyzed and compared on the example of the Gorkiy and Rybinsk reservoirs. Some common and distinct features of this process were revealed. The first stage of the formation of periphyton characterized by a predominance of Chironomidae larvae was closely similar to that of the formation of benthos. However, at present these ecological groups of hydrobionts essentially differ in many ecological characteristics.
