      In [``On analytic extension of Riemannian manifolds'' (Russian), in: N. N. Kizilova (ed.), G. N. Zholtkevych (ed.), on temporary problems of mathematics, mechanics and computing sciences. Kharkov: Apostrof. 323--326 (2011), \url{http://theormech.univer.kharkov.ua/volumes2011/Popov_2011.pdf}], the author of the paper under review has studied analytic extensions of Riemannian manifolds. In the present paper, he offers a generalization to the case of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Particulary, he proves that ``if a pseudo-Riemannian metric is defined on a ball and the Lie algebra of infinitesimal isometries of this metric has zero center and the dimension of this Lie algebra at a fixed point coincides with the dimension of the ball, then this metric can be extended to a metric of a complete pseudo-Riemannian manifold''.
