  A sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the zero solution to an
abstract nonlinear evolution problem is given. The governing equation is
$\dot{u}=A(t)u+F(t,u),$ where $A(t)$ is a bounded linear operator in Hilbert
space $H$ and $F(t,u)$ is a nonlinear operator, $\|F(t,u)\|\leq
c_0\|u\|^{1+p}$, $p=const >0$, $c_0=const>0$. It is not assumed that the
spectrum $\sigma:=\sigma(A(t))$ of $A(t)$ lies in the fixed halfplane Re$z\leq
-\kappa$, where $\kappa>0$ does not depend on $t$. As $t\to \infty$ the
spectrum of $A(t)$ is allowed to tend to the imaginary axis.
