Problem Statement

Let R R be an infinite ring such that every subring of R R different from {0} \{0 \} has a finite index in R R. (By the index of a subring, we mean the index of its additive group in the additive group of R R.) Prove that the additive group of R R is cyclic. L. Lovasz, J. Pelikan
