In the daily monitoring of microquasars program with the RATAN-600 radio telescope (supported by RFBR) we have detected a new powerful flare from the X-ray binary SS433 (ATel #6364, #4484). On 23 September (MJD56923.67) the fluxes have risen to 1150, 736, 551, and 463 mJy at 4.65, 8.2, 11.2
and 21.7 GHz respectively (with errors ~5 %). The total spectrum is well fitted by a power law: S_nu[Jy] = 2.7 nu^(-0.60)[GHz]. In 2014 we have detected last similar giant flare on 8 March. The current period of activity of SS433 continues during almost 80 days and characterized by some bright optical flares (ATel #6347, #6355) and the smaller radio flares. The daily measured light curves at 4.65 - 21.7 GHz during from July to September 2014 are shown in the plot:
