Abstract
This report discusses a new model of cosmic ray propagation in the Galaxy. In contrast to the known models based on the principles of Brownian motion, the proposed model agrees with the relativistic principle of speed limitation and takes into account the large-scale turbulence of the interstellar medium, justifying introduction of fractional differential operators.
