Abstract
We discuss the stability of large polarons in anisotropic media taking into account small-polaron narrowing of the electron band. It was shown that electron-phonon interaction may cause an additional anisotropy of the electron overlap integrals. Large-polaron stability in realistic substances is interpreted in terms of these results.
