... The 209 candidates were selected from our first and second priority samples introduced in Paper IV. Of 169 first priority candidates, 141 objects appeared in our list as new ones. 28 objects were listed in the NED as galaxies or objects from various catalogs with known redshifts and some of them already had information on emission lines in earlier publications. ... The ``random selected sample'' was created to access the fraction of BCGs in the second priority list and contains 43 objects. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...
