This is the first half of the proof of the theorem given by the author in 1995 in his Bielefeld University preprint devoted to the rates in invariance principles for independent centered random vectors (r.v.’s) $$\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_N\in\mathbb{R}^d$$. Their laws $${\mathcal L}(\xi_k)$$ belong to a certain class $${\mathcal A}_d(\tau)$$ with $$\tau\geq 1$$ and $$\text{cov} \xi_k=I$$, $$k=1,\ldots,n$$. The claim is that for $$\alpha>0$$ one can construct on a probability space $$(\Omega,{\mathcal F},\mathbb{P})$$ independent r.v.’s $$X_1,\ldots,X_n$$ and independent standard Gaussian r.v.’s $$Y_1,\ldots,Y_n$$, s.t. $${\mathcal L}(X_k)={\mathcal L}(\xi_k)$$, $$k=1,\ldots,n$$, and $E\exp\Biggl(\frac{c_1(\alpha)\Delta(X,Y)}{\tau d^3\log^+d}\Biggr)\leq\exp\Bigl(c_2(\alpha)d^{9/4+\alpha}(\log^+(n/\tau^2))\Bigr)$ where $$c_1(\alpha),c_2(\alpha)>0$$ depend only on $$\alpha$$ and $$\Delta(X,Y)=\max_{1\leq k\leq n}\Bigl|\sum_{j=1}^k X_j- \sum_{j=1}^k Y_j\Bigr|$$. This theorem is a refinement of a result by U. Einmahl [J. Multivariate Anal. 28, No. 1, 20-68 (1989; Zbl 0676.60038)]. The proof is based on the study of quantiles of smooth conditional distributions for vectors whose laws belong to $${\mathcal A}_d(\tau)$$.
