With rotational $O(1/N_c) $ corrections taken into account, we obtain $g_T^{(0)}=0.69$ and $g_T^{(3)}=1.45$ at a low normalization poin of several hundreds MeV. Within the same approximation and parameters the model yields $g_A^{(0)}=0.36$, $g_A^{(3)}=1.21$ for axial charges and correct octet--decuplet mass splitting. We show how the chiral quark-soliton model interpolates between the nonrelativistic quark model and the Skyrme model.4 pages with 1 figure Talk given at 7th International Conference on the Structure of Baryons, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 3-7 Oct 1995High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
