Abstract: Inflationary theory is already 20 years old, and it is impossible to describe all of its versions and implications in a short talk. I will concentrate on several subjects which I believe to be most important. First of all, I will give a brief review of the first versions of inflationary theory, from Starobinsky model to new inflation. Then I will describe chaotic inflation, the theory of quantum fluctuations and density perturbations, the theory of eternal inflation, and recent observational data. In the second part of the talk I will discuss the recently proposed ekpyrotic scenario and argue that in its present form it does not provide a viable alternative to inflation.
