Evgenii Solomonovich Golod (Russian: ??????? ??????????? ?????, October 21, 1935 – July 5, 2018) was a Russian mathematician who proved the Golod–Shafarevich theorem on class field towers.
As an application, he gave a negative solution to the Kurosh–Levitzky problem on the nilpotency of finitely generated nil algebras, and so to a weak form of Burnside's problem. Golod was a student of Igor Shafarevich.
As of 2015, Golod had 39 academic descendants, most of them through his student Luchezar L.
Avramov.
