Distortion is an asymptotic invariant of the embeddings
of finitely generated algebras. For group embeddings,
it has been introduced by M.Gromov. The main part of
the talk will be based on a recent work with Yu.Bahturin,
where we consider the behavior of distortion functions
for subalgebras of associative and Lie algebras.
