The original paper's results coincide with earlier findings.

The comment suggests possible gaps in the original authors' literature review.

Abstract

Recently, S.A.Mikhailov et al presented a theoretical study(cond-mat/0407364) concerning the electromagnetic response of a finite-width two-dimensional electron stripe. Surprisingly, in the above manuscript the magnetic field dependence of the magnetoplasmon spectrum(namely Fig.4) reproduces that reported for the first time in our paper(cond-mat/0405176, JETP Lett., 80, August 2004, in press). We believe that the above curious coincidence may result from the authors not to be informed enough.
