The monitoring results of the blazar B1308+326 in the optical and radio
bands in 2011-2018 are presented and analyzed. An optical flare of the
object associated with the passage of revealed superluminal components
through the radio core, coinciding in time with a γ-ray outburst,
as well as outbursts at 43 GHz, were detected. The photometric
variability is explained by a variable component with a constant at
average power-law relative energy distribution in the spectrum
(Fν ~ ν-1.6). This fact, as well as the high
observed degree of polarization (up to 40%), indicates its synchrotron
nature. Separate sources of polarized radiation with a high degree of
polarization and a direction either parallel or perpendicular to the
direction of the jet are distinguished, which gives information about
the magnetic field's direction in the jet during outbursts and allows us
to make a conclusion for their appearance: the passage of a shock wave
over the jet or the appearance of radiating electronic ensembles.
