Using special "anisotropic" quasigraded Lie algebras, we obtain a number of new hierarchies of integrable nonlinear equations in partial derivatives admitting zero-curvature representations. Among them are an anisotropic deformation of the Heisenberg magnet hierarchy, a matrix and vector generalization of the Landau-Lifshitz hierarchies, new types of matrix and vector anisotropic chiral-field hierarchies, and other types of "anisotropic" hierarchies.
