  The experimental search for solar hadronic axions is started at the Baksan
Neutrino Observatory of the Institute for Nuclear Researches Russian Academy of
Science. It is assumed that axions are created in the Sun during M1-transition
between the first thermally excited level at 9.4 keV and the ground state in
Kr-83. The experiment is based on axion detection via resonant absorption
process by the same nucleus in the detector. The big copper proportional
counter filled with krypton is used to detect signals from axions. The
experimental setup is situated in the deep underground low background
laboratory. No evidence of axion detection were found after the 26.5 days data
collection. Resulting new upper limit on axion mass is m_{A} < 130 eV at 95%
C.L.
