An important step in the proof of Kostrikin's fundamental theorem [2] on finite groups of prime exponent is the following result.Theorem 1. Let L be a Lie algebra of characteristic p satisfying the t-th Engel condition for some t < p, and suppose that L is generated by elements that are right-Engel of length 2. Then L is locally nilpotent.
