    The article under review answers the question whether the 3D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations exhibit asymptotically self-similar singularities negatively. In case of the Euler equations the author considers convergence of the vorticity to the corresponding self-similar vorticity profile in the sense of the critical Besov space norm, \(\dot B_{\infty,1}^0(\mathbb R^3)\). For the Navier-Stokes equations, the situation is considered where the velocity converges to the corresponding self-similar singularity in \(L^q(B(z,r))\), \(q\in[2,\infty)\), with the ball of radius \(r\) shrinking toward a possible singularity point \(z\) at the order of \(\sqrt{T-t}\) as time \(t\) approaches the singularity time \(T\). The proofs given are based on both known and new continuation principles for local-in-time solutions of the governing equations.
