The acceleration of energetic particles is investigated using the kinetic equation in a statistically anisotropic helical turbulent magnetic field in the diffusion approximation. It is known that large-scale magnetic and electric fields are generated in a medium with statistically anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The particle acceleration by the large-scale electric field can be very efficient if the magnetic helicity of a turbulent medium is sufficiently high. The effectiveness of this acceleration mechanism is compared with the Fermi acceleration of the second order. The steady-state cosmic ray energetic spectra as well as their evolution during their approach to an equilibrium state of both acceleration processes are studied.
