In current monitoring program of microquasars with the RATAN-600 radio telescope we have detected the powerful flaring activity from the famous X-ray binary SS433. The fluxes reached the values nearly 1-2 Jy at 22 - 4.8 GHz during the last week that almost 3-5 times higher than in its quiet state. Usually such high radio state occurs again less frequent than once per year. The daily measured light curves at 4.8, 7.7 and 11.2 GHz during 19 April to 10 August 2011 are shown in figure: http://www.sao.ru/hq/lran/XB/SS433/SS433_lc_2011apr-aug.png
