Abstract.The aim of this note is to give a conditional version of Kolmogorov's strong law of large numbers. A strong law of large numbers was generalized in many ways. One of the assumptions, which was weakened, was the independence condition (for example for martingales increments).

In this paper we consider sequences of $\mathcal{F}$-independence of random variables. Note that conditional independence does not imply independence, the opposite implication is also not true, as incorrectly given in the book [#!Jordan!#]. In the second part of this paper we prove a conditional version of the Kolmogorov's strong law of large numbers.
