PbF{sub 2}-and BaF{sub 2}-doped PbWO{sub 4} crystals have been grown by the Czochralski method. The scintillation characteristics of the grown crystals have been determined. It is shown that introduction of BaF{sub 2} leads to an increase in the light yield of PbWO{sub 4} crystals by 20%, while PbWO{sub 4}:PbF{sub 2} crystals demonstrate a significant increase in radiation hardness.
