    The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (respectively affine) space and for every generic plane in the projective (respectively affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of the fundamental groups of the complements to the hypersurface in the plane and in the space. If a family of hypersurfaces depends algebraically on parameters then it is not true in general that there exists a plane such that the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of the fundamental groups of the complements to each hypersurface from this family in the plane and in the space. But the authors show that in the affine case such a plane exists after a polynomial coordinate substitution.
