The data on supernovae particularly indicative of the role of rotation in the collapse-triggered explosion is emphasized. The problem of including the rotation of presupernova core into the supernova theory is considered. A two-dimensional classification scheme of core-collapse supernovae is proposed which unifies 'classical' supernovae of type Ib/c and type II, 'hypernovae' and some GRB events.24 pages, 4 figures, 3 tablesAstrophysicstext
