Abstract
A possibility of the violation of the optical theorem at high energies due to the mixed character of the initial states is discussed. A close connection of this idea with the MIT —bag model of hadrons is shown. The experimental evidence for the validity of the optical theorem is doubted. A plan of the investigations which could lead to the discovery of the optical theorem violation for strong interactions is presented.
