Topical problems in the physics of and basic facts about neutron stars are reviewed. The observational manifestations of neutron stars, their core and envelope structure, magnetic fields, thermal evolution, and masses and radii are briefly discussed, along with the underlying microphysics.
Comments: 28 pages, 8 figures (in v2 and v3, several typos have been fixed). Invited topical review for the special issue of Uspekhi Fiz. Nauk (Physics - Uspekhi) in memory of V. L. Ginzburg (translated from Russian by Yu. V. Morozov, edited by A. M. Semikhatov and by the author)
