Abstract: I will attempt a brief historical overview of how, starting from around 1960s, the ideas of J.B. Keller including on Geometric Theory of Diffraction (GTD) penetrated into the Soviet/ Russian diffraction school, and influences it often competing with and complementing ideas of V.A. Fock, V.M. Babich, and others.
