The electron states in antiferromagnetic semiconductors with large atomic spins S and an arbitrary relation between the band width Δ E and the spin—electron interaction A are considered. It is shown that in the mean‐field approximation of atomic spins the spin—electron interaction in case of AS ≧ Δ E leads to essential transformations in the electron spectrum, while the interactions of electrons with the spin deviations from the average values (at T = 0 with virtual magnons) leads to a polaron‐type quasi‐particle formation: the antiferromagnetic polaron (AFP). With the help of the diagram technique at T = 0 the AFP Green function and its spectrum are obtained.
