Exotic mesonsState Research Center ‘Institute of High Energy Physics’, ul. Pobedy 1, Protvino, Moscow Region, 142280, Russian Federation A review is given of the current state of searches for, and investigations of, exotic mesonic states in hadronic reactions, J/ψJ/ψ decays, and γγ, γγ collisions. These experiments have led in recent years to the discovery of a number of mesonic states whose properties do not fit into the simple quark model of ``ordinary'' (qˉqq¯q) mesons. The new particles appear to be very serious candidates for exotic hadrons. The current state of the E/iota problem and the nature of the E(1420) meson are discussed.
