Let $Z_n$ be the number of individuals in a branching process evolving in the environment generated by i.i.d. probability distributions. Let $X$ be the logarithm of the expected offspring size per individual given the environment. Assuming that $EX<\infty$ we study the probability of survival, prove Yaglom type limit theorems for the distribution of the number of particles in the process conditioned on its survival up to a distant moment n and describe the environments providing survival. The proofs use, in particular, a fine study of a random walk (with negative drift and heavy tails) conditioned to stay positive until time and to have a small positive value at time $n$, with $n\arrow\infty$ .
