  We briefly recollect the problem of significant hyperon polarization
emphasizing the role of spin in dynamics of hadron interactions. We provide
also some model predictions based on chiral dynamics and the impact parameter
picture for illustration. The old, but yet unsolved problem of hyperon
polarization, can obtain a new insight from the measurements at the LHC
energies and, in combination with other measurements, can be used for tagging
QGP formation in $pp$--collisions.
