Abstract: Abstract The year is 1976. I receive a notice about a meeting of the Moscow Mathematical Society in disbelief: the topic is the proof of the four-color conjecture (4CC) just obtained by two Americans, whose names do not ring my bell, but if the proof holds, are certainly destined to enter the history of mathematics, perhaps, history of culture. Every attendee is exhilarated.
