A group which has Chernikov conjugacy classes. More precisely, let and let denote the normal closure of in . Then is a CC-group if is a Chernikov group for all . Such groups are generalizations of groups with finite conjugacy classes (cf. Locally normal group). CC-groups were first introduced by Ya.D. Polovitskii in [a3]. He showed that if is a CC-group, then the derived group of is locally finite and, in fact, locally normal and Chernikov.

Much of the theory established for FC-groups (see Group with a finiteness condition) has been generalized, to some extent or other, to the class of CC-groups. E.g., in [a1] J. Alcázar and J. Otal showed that the Sylow -subgroups of a CC-group are locally conjugate. The theory of formations of groups and the theory of Fitting classes in finite solvable groups has also been extended to the class of locally solvable CC-groups (see [a2] for a survey).
