  The theoretical investigations at ITEP in the years 1945-1958 are reviewed.
There are exposed the most important theoretical results, obtained in the
following branches of physics: 1) the theory of nuclear reactors on thermal
neutrons; 2) the hydrogen bomb project ("Tube" in USSR and "Classical Super" in
USA); 3) radiation theory; ~4) low temperature physics; 5) quantum
electrodynamics and quantum field theories; 6) parity violation in weak
interactions, the theory of $\beta$-decay and other weak processes; 7) strong
interaction and nuclear physics. To the review are added the English
translations of few papers, originally published in Russian, but unknown (or
almost unknown) to Western readers.
