Abstract: A new proof of the Kolmogorov theorem on the asymptotic behavior of the deviation between a theoretical and an empirical distribution function is presented. We use the Gnedenko-Korolyuk approach based on some combinatorial properties of the merged sample constructed from two other independent samples. Some statistical applications of the Gnedenko-Korolyuk theorem are discussed.
