Uneasy fate of the Yudin’s Collection, his relationship with domestic and foreign counterparts had led to the ambiguity of his contribution and recognition of his achievements. However, since 1990, there are conducted Yudin Readings, and in 2015 the Readings were held for the eighth time. His heritage is being studied, catalogued, contributing to the reconstruction of the past of Siberia and Russia.
