Summary: In this survey, we present several constructions of Hamiltonian reductions, leading to integrable multibody systems. The original phase spaces are naturally constructed with the help of infinite-dimensional current algebras. Along these lines, we construct integrable systems of Calogero type, and their relativistic and spin generalizations. The degenerations of Hitchin systems are particular cases of these systems. We discuss various dualities relating integrable systems and show that these dualities are easily obtained in the framework of Hamiltonian reductions. We also discuss the applications to solutions of gauge theories in various dimensions.
