The X-ray powder analysis, calorimetric studies, and conductivity measurements of a series of ceramic La{sub 2}Mo{sub 2-x}V{sub x}O{sub y} specimens with different vanadium content are performed with the aim of following the dynamics of phase formation of the low-temperature {alpha}, high-temperature {beta}, and metastable {beta}{sub ms} phases. At x {>=} 0.06, the cubic phase becomes stable and the monoclinic phase vanishes; therefore, the main {alpha} {sup {yields}} {beta} transition is suppressed. According to the data of differential thermal analyses, a weak thermal anomaly is observed in the range 450-470{sup o}C at x {>=} 0.06. This anomaly is indicative of the {beta}{sub ms} {sup {yields}} {beta} transition due to the conversion of the cubic phase with statically disordered oxygen atoms into the cubic phase with dynamic disorder. The conductivity of the high-temperature {beta} phase obeys the Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher law.
