Two of the papers published by Kolmogorov in 1941 are generally considered to be the origin of modern turbulence theory, including the concepts of scale similarity and of a universal inertial cascade. His third important paper, in 1962, although later superseded, was in the same way the origin of the modern investigations on intermittency. This note summarizes the history of turbulence theory before Kolmogorov, his contributions in these three papers, and his influence on the present understanding of turbulence in fluids.
