Abstract: The author describes all commutative unary algebras with finite number of unary operations which have distributive lattice of congruences and cyclic elements in every operation. It proves the following result:
Theorem 2. Let ${\mathbf A}$=${\langle A, f_1, f_2, \ldots, f_m \rangle }$ is a connected commutative unary algebra, $m\geq 1$ and $n_1, n_2, \ldots,n_m\geq 1$such a natural numbers, that $f_i^{n_i}(x)=x$ for every $i\leq m$ and every $x\in A$. Then the following condition are equivalent:
(1) The lattice of congruence on ${\mathbf A}$ has a distributive property.
(2) One can find natural numbers $k_1, k_2, \ldots, k_m\geq 1$ and such an unary operation $h$ on ${\mathbf A}$, that for every $i=1, 2, \ldots, m$ and every $x\in A$ it holds $f_i(x)=h^{k_i}(x)$.

Keywords: unary operation, commutative unary algebra, lattice of congruence, distributive property, cyclic element.
