  The first results of the observational program of the study of 2D-kinematics
in double-barred galaxies are presented. We show that, for the main part of the
sample, the inner bars do not affect the circumnuclear stellar kinematics.
Therefore, they are not dynamically decoupled structures. Various types of
non-circular gas motion were found in many galaxies. The analysis of the
ground-based and HST optical and NIR images reveals mini-spirals in about half
of the investigated objects. We suggest that so called ``double-barred
galaxies'' are, in fact, galaxies with very different circumnuclear structure.
