Abstract
In the article by Sokolov [J. Exp. Theor. Phys. 109(2), 207 (2009)], the so-called renormalization of the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac (LAD) equation was proposed. The latter describes the motion of an electron in the electromagnetic field in consideration of the radiation reaction. In many articles of Sokolov and his colleagues, this model is promoted as more appropriate one when an electron is under the effect of a super-strong laser field. In this article, it is shown that such assertions are baseless and the physical importance of this model is vastly overestimated. Sokolov's equation suffers from numerous drawbacks arising from the fact that it represents not modified but distorted LAD. In particular, superluminal paradoxes arise in the framework of this model.
