Abstract

In a recent preprint cond-mat/9906450 (published in PRL 84, 3141 (2000)) Bodo Huckestein showed that at real experimental conditions it is not possible to observe the quantum Hall effect (QHE) at $\omega_{c}\tau <1$ predicted by Khmelnitskii ( $\omega_{c}=eB/m$ is the cyclotron frequency and $\tau$ is the scattering time). We would like to point out here that in fact the situation is not so hopeless due to the influence of the electron-electron interaction.
