    Let NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\frac{d\Psi}{d\lambda}= \Biggl(\sum^{n}_{j = 1}\frac{A_{j}}{\lambda-\lambda_{j}}\Biggr)\Psi, \tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where the residues \(A_{j}\in sl(2,C)\) are independent of \(\lambda\) and \(\sum^{n}_{j=1}A_{j}=0\), be a canonical Fuchsian system of linear differential equations with the parameters \(\lambda_{1},\dots ,\lambda_{n}\). When the monodromy matrices are independent of the positions of the singularities, system (1) is equivalent to the classical Schlesinger system NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\frac{\partial A_{j}}{\partial\lambda_{i}} = \frac{[A_{j},A_{i}]}{\lambda_{j}- \lambda_{i}}, \quad i \neq j, \quad \frac{\partial A_{j}}{\partial\lambda_{j}} = - \sum_{i \neq j} \frac{[A_{j},A_{i}]}{\lambda_{j} - \lambda_{i}}.\tag{2}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The author reviews some recent developments in the theory of isomonodromic deformations for system (2). He shows how to derive Schlesinger transformations together with their action on the \(\tau\)-function. That leads really to a classification of systems (2) with respect to Schlesinger transformations. Then he constructs some class of systems (2) with the solutions. The monodromy group of the correspondent system (1) has no unipotent elements, so it is solvable by quadratures. Let's remark, that it would be interesting to obtain outgoing from this property all equations with independence of matrices of a monodromy from positions of the singularities. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe author also discusses in the paper the opportunity of an extension of the received results on a torus. The basic difficulty which arises here -- what to choose as an initial form for systems (1) and (2). The author offers the own variant of a choice of the form and shows the results received in this connection. Other view on the problems considered in the given paper can be found in \textit{K. Takasaki} [Asian J. Math. 2, No. 4, 1049-1078 (1998; Zbl 0959.34075)] and \textit{V. S. Varadarajan} [Dyn. Contin.
