The preprint is an English translation of the paper by famous astrophysicist Samuil Kaplan (1921-1978) “O krugovykh orbitakh v teorii tyagoteniya Einsteina (On circular orbits in Einstein’s theory of gravitation)”, published in 1949 in the Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics (Vol. 19, No. 10, pp. 951-952) in Russian. This important 1 and 1/3 page paper is still inaccessible to a wide range of experts and students due to the lack of such translation. This paper is the first scientific publication of Samuil Kaplan and the pioneering work in this field. The aim of this presentation is to make the article available to a wide range of experts in the field of general relativity, relativistic astrophysics and the history of science, as well as to honor its author on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth.
