In [1] Bojańczyk considered WMSO+U logic and a new type of automata: max-automata. His main result is a conclusion that this logic is decidable over Ω. There arise the natural questions about expressive power of MSO+U. There is still no adequate automata model for this logic. In [2] autors showed that BS-automata (model strictly weaker then MSO+U) define some Σ0_4-complete languages. The aim of the speach is to show examples of languages definable in MSO+U, complete for all finite levels of Borel hierarchy.
