Nontrivial electrodynamic properties of vortex matter, which are due to a specific nonlinearity of the material equations, in hard superconductors are discussed: collapse of the transport current and the static magnetization of superconductors by an external orthogonal ac magnetic field; appearance of jumps in the time dependence of the electric field at the boundary of a sample as a result of nonlinear interaction of waves having different frequencies; specific staged penetration of an electromagnetic field into anisotropic superconductors. Nonlocal effects resulting in a large modification of nonlinear phenomena are also examined. Special attention is given to a discussion of the unique phenomenon of macroturbulent instability, associated with the flow of Abrikosov vortices, in hard superconductors. Most results presented are based on original experimental and theoretical investigations performed with the participation of the present authors.
