We propose to invest 1.5 Msec of the INTEGRAL time to carry outdeep observation of one of the nearest Galactic spiral arms - Crux- not well investimaged by INTEGRAL so far. Part of Carina spiral armalso will be in the field of view of IBIS and SPI telescopes.These observations will sufficiently increase our knowledge ofpopulation of weak Galactic sources in this region and in addition to that willallow to detect a set of weak absorbed active galactic nuclei in thedirection of Great Attractor.
