Abstract: This is a survey paper on various results relates to the following theorem first proved by A.D. Alexandrov: extit{Let $S$ be an analytic convex sphere-homeomorphic surface in $mathbb{R}^3$ and let $$ be its principal curvatures at the point $$. If the inequalities $$ hold true with some constant $k$ for all $$ then $S$ is a sphere.} The imphases is on a result of Y. Martinez-Maure who first proved that the above statement is not valid for convex $C^2$-surfaces. For convenience of the reader, in addendum we give a Russian translation of that paper by Y. Martinez-Maure originally published in French in extit{C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, S'{e}r. I, Math.} {�f 332} (2001), 41--44.
