That name is attached to some very often used theorems, but the goal of this paper is not just to remind the reader of these theorems. I put them in the context of the general development of ergodic theory during the thirty years 1940-70. Most of all, I want to emphasize that Rokhlin was not only a researcher producing powerful results but also a founder of schools at the two best Universities in the USSR. For at least 10 years (1958-68) these schools dominated ergodic theory. This paper is not biographical. Rokhlin's life certainly deserves a better biographer. However, I mention certain circumstances of a non-mathematical nature where it seems to be appropriate.
