A mural — portrait of the Soviet Turkologist, Kyrgyz scholar, professor Konstantin Yudakhin recently appeared on the wall of the Faculty of Humanities of KRSU. We talked about the life of the "great Russian Kyrgyz" and his invaluable contribution to the development of the Kyrgyz language with the scientist’s granddaughter Tatyana Yudakhina and adviser to the rector of KRSU on issues of historical and cultural heritage Leonid Sumarokov.
He could jump into a car at night and go "for a new word" — conversation about Yudakhin’s life
The author of the first Russian-Kyrgyz dictionary was called a "fan of the Kyrgyz one," and for his attempts to help Moldo Kilych, newspapers once dubbed him a "Kyrgyz bourgeois nationalist.".
