This interesting article is dedicated to the groups with a finite set of subgroups serving as commutator subgroups of some subgroups of the group (C-groups). The authors obtain a general description of C-groups and some details of the structure of perfect C-groups with no proper subgroups of finite index. Among others, they prove that a C-group has finitely generated commutator subgroup. The authors also describe the groups in which every non-Abelian subgroup has the commutator subgroup coinciding with the commutator subgroup of the whole group. In particular, they prove that such a group is solvable if and only if it is locally graded.
