Let \(S\) be the class of functions \(w=f(z)=z+a_2z^2+\dotsb\) which are analytic and univalent in \(|z|<1\). Let \(\Gamma\) be a curve in the complex plane and let \(L(r,\Gamma)=L(r,\Gamma,w)\) be the sum of length of the curves \(w^{-1}(\Gamma)\cap \{x:|z|<r\), \(0\leq r<1\), \[ l(r,\lambda)=\int_0^{+\infty} L(r,\Gamma(R))R^\lambda dR, \] where \(\Gamma(R)=\{w:|w|=R\}\) and \(\lambda\in(-\infty,+\infty)\). The author proves the following {Theorem.} {If \(f\in S\), then for \(0<r\leq 1\) we have (a) \(l(r,\lambda)\leq K_1(\lambda) \frac{1}{(1-r)^{2\lambda-1}}\), \(-\frac{1}{2}<\lambda<+\infty\); (b) \(l(r,\lambda)\leq K_2(\lambda)\ln\frac{1}{1-r}\), \(\lambda=-\frac{1}{2}\); (c) \(l(r,\lambda)\leq K_3(\lambda)\), \(-2<\lambda<-\frac{1}{2}\). For \(\lambda\leq -2\) there exists \(r_0=r_0(f)>0\) such that \(l(r,\lambda)=\infty\) for \(r\geq r_0\).} By using the function \(f(z)=z/(1-z)^2\) the author shows that the estimates (a)-(c) are sharp. For the proof of the theorem the author uses three lemmas which may be interesting by themselves.
