    The Cauchy problem is considered for the KdV equation with the initial data tending quickly to their asymptotic values, and the behaviour of its solution is described as \(t\to +\infty\). The latter asymptotics is found to represent a Whitham deformation with no creation or annihilation of spectral zones. The solution involves a specific choice of the Whitham path and phase shift.
