Let \(\Phi\) be an associative commutative ring with unity \((\frac{1}{6}\in\Phi)\). Recall that an element \(a\) of an anticommutative algebra \(A\) is called a nil-element of index 2 if \((xa)a=0\) for every \(x\in A\). The main result of the article under review concerns the nilpotency of a Mal'tsev \(\Phi\)-algebra generated by a finite tuple of nil-elements of index 2. Thus, the author fully extends to Mal'tsev \(\Phi\)-algebras the available results on Lie algebras [see \textit{A. I. Kostrikin}, Am. Math. Soc., Transl. (2) 36, 63-99 (1964; Zbl 0132.01702) and \textit{E. I. Zelmanov}, Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 112(154), 611-629 (1980; Zbl 0442.17003)]. \textit{A. N. Grishkov} in [Sib. Mat. Zh. 23, No. 1, 181-182 (1982; Zbl 0492.17008)] showed that an ideal of a Lie algebra generated by nil-elements of index 2 over a field of characteristic \(0\) is locally nilpotent. The author uses this result for proving that an ideal of a Mal'tsev algebra generated by nil-elements of index 2 over a field of characteristic \(0\) is locally solvable.
