    Let \(A\) be a finite subset of a non-Abelian group \(G\), and \(A^2=\{ab:a,b\in A\}\). It is shown that if \(|A^2|<1.5|A|\), then the set \(H=AA^{-1}=AA^{-1}\) is a subgroup of \(G\), and \(A^2\) is a coset of \(H\), possibly coinciding with \(H\). An earlier version of this result with a sketch of its proof was published by the author [in Teoretiko-Chisl. Issled. Spektru Markov. Struktur. Teor. Slozhen. Mnozhestv, 175-183 (1973; Zbl 0321.10049)] in Russian.
