  We review a special class of semiclassical string states in AdS_5 x S^5 which
have a regular expansion of their energy in integer powers of the ratio of the
square of string tension (`t Hooft coupling) and the square of large angular
momentum in S^5. They allow one to quantitatively check the AdS/CFT duality in
non-supersymmetric sector of states and also help to uncover the role of
integrable structures on the two sides of the string theory -- gauge theory
duality.
