Abstract: It is proved that any two homeomorphic closed Aleksandrov surfaces of bounded integral curvature are bi-Lipschitz-equivalent with constant depending only on their Euler number, upper bounds for their diameters and negative integral curvatures, and two positive numbers $ \varepsilon$ and $ l$ such that each loop of length at most $ l$ bounds a disk of positive curvature at most $ 2\pi-\varepsilon$.
