After discovery of the X-ray binary MAXIJ1836-194 (ATEL#3611) we are daily observing it from 2 September with the RATAN-600 radio telescope. We have clearly detected it at levels within 20-50 mJy at 4.8 GHz with mean errors near 4 mJy. Total mean value is equal 30 +-9 mJy (+- one sigma), that indicates variability at 4.8 GHz. We have also detected MAXIJ1836-194 on the average (for 6-7 days) drift curves at 7.7 and 11.2 GHz. The total spectra are probably flat or inverted ones as found with EVLA (ATEL#3628). The light curve of MAXIJ1836-194 during 2-22 September 2011 measured with RATAN-600:
