We have selected some of his important papers and shown their influence on the evolution of this topic. We emphasize the role A. Lasota played in promoting abstract mathematical theories by showing their applications. The article is focused exclusively on ergodic properties of discrete stochastic semigroups \(\{P^n : n \geq 0\}\). Nevertheless, almost all of Lasota's results presented here have their one-parameter continuous semigroup analogs.
