[en] Modern state of studies on the question of the Venus origin is discussed. It is indicated that calculations of the planet thermal evolution model pointed up the Venus and Earth resemblance not only from the viewpoint of external parameters but also on the subject of their interior. The Venus probably has an iron core (about 7000 km in diameter), a layer with decreased viscosity which approximately begins from the depth of 200 km and a several dozens kilometers thick crust. The unique peculiarity of the Venus atmosphere is the existence of extended rarefied clouds which occupy a vast region of the atmosphere on a height of 48-65 km. The steam content in the Venus atmosphere is by three orders of magnitude less than in the Earth atmosphere; but there is no water on the Venus surface due to very high temperature. But much water may be in a gaseous state deep in the planet at temperatures higher than the critical one (374 deg C). In the originally rarefied Venus atmosphere water had to boil away promoting the development of a heavy ''hotbed'' effect and further growth of surface temperature. The above model of the Venus thermal evolution is one of probable hypotheses
