Abstract
The analytic theory of 4 pi-kinks in long Josephson junctions is presented. The laws for the velocity "quantized" spectrum of the different modes of t he moving 4 pi-kinks nonlinear vortices are obtained. The discreteness of t he velocity spectrum is dictated by the condition of the phase matching of the nonlinear state which does not permit breaking of the vortices due to t he Cherenkov radiation.
