In the quantum process of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), a laser photon propagating in a resonance medium undergoes multifold conversions into a Stokes photon and back. The nontrivial ``cooperative'' behavior of the Stokes component of light transmitted through the medium is proven to be completely determined by the interference of scattering amplitudes in different sub-channels of the Stokes channel, which obviously combines all the sub-channels with an odd number of photon conversions. The theory of superfluorescence is then derived as the limiting case of the SRS theory.
