Tashkinov’s original, Russian paper offers a clear presentation of this theorem and its proof. The theorem itself has been well understood and successfully applied, but the proof is more difficult. It builds a truly amazing recursive machine, where the various cases necessitate a refined and polished analysis to fit into one another with surprising smoothness and accuracy. The difficulties were brilliantly unknotted by the author, deserving repeated attention. The present work is the result of reading, translating, reorganizing, rewriting, completing, shortcutting and annotating Tashkinov’s proof.
