Abstract: Primordial black holes (PBH), if survive to the present time, can be a fraction, or even the dominant form of dark matter of the Universe. If PBH evaporate before the present time, rare forms of dark matter like superweakly interacting or supermassive particles can be produced in the course of their evaporation. Stable remnants of PBH evaporation can also play the role of dark matter candidates. In the context of the modern standard cosmology, based on inflationary models with baryosynthesis and dark matter, which find their physical grounds beyond the Standard models of elementary particles (BSM), primordial black holes acquire the important role of sensitive probes for BSM models and their parameters. It makes PBHs a profound messenger of physics of Dark Universe.
