This is a survey article of that literature of classical branching process theory which has appeared since \textit{B. A. Sevast'yanov}'s survey in ibid. 1968, 5-48 (1968; Zbl 0196.189). By ''classical'' is meant: a finite number of types, independence of evolutionary lines, reproduction law homogeneous through time. (A sequel will deal with more complex processes.) It is fitting that this survey is written by two of the leading Russian workers of the younger generation. The survey is very thorough, with 497 entries. Sevast'janov's article contained 197 entries.
