A group \(G\) is said to be a `T-group' if all its subnormal subgroups are normal, i.e. if normality in \(G\) is a transitive relation; moreover, \(G\) is called a `\(\overline{\text{T}}\)-group' if every subgroup of \(G\) is a T-group. In the 14-th edition of the Kourovka Notebook (1999; Zbl 0943.20003 and Zbl 0943.20004), the reviewer asked whether it is true that any non-periodic locally graded \(\overline{\text{T}}\)-group is Abelian (recall here that a group \(G\) is `locally graded' if each finitely generated non-trivial subgroup of \(G\) contains a proper subgroup of finite index). In the paper under review the authors show that this question can be reduced to the case of \(R\)-groups, i.e. torsion-free groups with unique extraction of roots. In fact, they prove that if every locally graded \(R\)-group with the property \(\overline{\text{T}}\) is Abelian, then all locally graded non-periodic \(\overline{\text{T}}\)-groups are Abelian.
