The synthesis of polycrystalline Mn_{1-x}Gd_{x}Se solid solutions is carried out by solid state reaction method followed by quenching from the temperature of 1370 K. The X-ray diffraction studies realized at 300 K revealed that the structure of the single phase samples in the 0 < x < 0.15 concentration range is identified on base a face centered cubic crystal cell of Fm3m space group. The heating of the solid solutions to 900 K does not affect on the magnetic susceptibility as the dependences is identical to the measurements in the "heating-cooling" regime. Comparing the research results of magnetic properties of the Mn_{1-x}Gd_{x}Se solid solutions with those of Mn_{1-x}Gd_{x}S solid solutions, we can conclude that substitution of manganese ions by gadolinium in manganese selenide lead to more changes in the basic magnetic characteristics than in manganese sulfide.
