I review the modern status of QCD theory of diffractive vector meson
production with the focus on shrinkage of photons with Q2 and (Q2+mV2)scaling,jβplanepropertiesoftheQCDpomeronandReggeshrinkageofdiffractioncone,s$-channel helicity non-conservation and sensitivity to spin-orbital
properties of vector mesons.Comment: 9 p., 5 fig., Invited talk at Meson-2000, Krakow, May 200
