In the paper is shown that for any integer unimodular quadratic form and $n=8k+4$ $(k\geqslant1)$ there exists a smooth closed $n$-dimensional manifold with this form. The proof is based on using “plumbing” for construction of smooth closed $3$-connected eight-dimensional manifolds with a given form.
