Nearly Forgotten Cosmological Concept of E. B. Gliner

E. B. Gliner started his scientific career in 1963 at the age of 40. In 1965, when existence cosmological constant $\lambda$ seemed unnecessary to most cosmologists, he renewed interest problem by emphasizing a material interpretation de Sitter space (i.e., curved presence $\lambda$). According that interpretation, curvature is produced vacuum (now identified as dark energy universe). 1970, proposed description exponential expansion (or contraction) universe early late) evolution stage dominated vacuum. 1975, (with I.G. Dyminikova) suggested model free Big Bang singularity, and developed scenario nonsingular Friedmann cosmology. Many these findings were used modern inflation scenarios universe, first A.A. Starobinsky (1979) A. Guth (1981) greatly multiplied later. However, differ from Dymnikova, Gliner's contribution cosmology nearly forgotten. The history essence this are outlined, well difference theories.
