  We present results of multicolor UBVRI observations of the type 1 Seyfert
galaxy (SyG 1) NGC 7469 carried out at the 1.5-meter telescope of the Maidanak
Observatory (Uzbekistan) in 2008-2014. Analysis of the light curves indicates
the presence of another slow flare of a long-term variability in 2009-2014 with
a maximum in 2011-2012. We investigate properties of the long-term variability
in 2009-2014, present (U-B)-(B-V) color diagrams for maxima and minima of NGC
7469 nuclear variability using various apertures and compare them with the
black-body gas radiation which models the accretion disk radiation. Color-index
measurements shows that the color becomes bluer at maximum brightness,
indicating a higher temperature of the accretion disk. We have analysed the
relation of X-ray and optical variability of NGC 7469 in 2008 and 2009 in
comparison with the activity minimum in 2003. In 2008 the correlation
coefficient between the X-ray and optical radiation is close to 0.5. Such poor
correlation can be explained by the influence of an SN 1a explosion in close
proximity to the nucleus of NGC 7469. The SN manifests itself in the optical
band but does not affect the X-ray variability pattern. Comparison of the
variability data in 2009 reveals a good correlation between the optical (U
band) and the X-ray (7-10 keV) variability with the correlation coefficient of
about 0.93. The correlation coefficient and the lag depend on the wavelength in
the optical and X-ray bands. The lag between the X-ray and optical fluxes in
2009 is 2-4 days. In 2003 the lag is almost zero.
