Abstract
In the last couple of years many important results have been derived showing that Bell's inequalities are nothing else but the indicator whether certain events and their probabilities can be represented or not within a Kolmogorovian probabilistic model. It has become evident that one can derive the Bell's inequalities without mentioning locality, causality hidden variable, etc. Many authors jumped to conclusion that the original content of the Bell's theorem had lost its meaning. I reconsider original problem posed by Bell and I show that the Bell's theorem is still valid.
