Russian geologists and geographers always paid attention to analysis of Devis knowledge and tried to use main concepts of his geographical cycle knowledge. More than 100 years passed from the day of his memorable book on geographical cycle publishing, but still many our geomorphologists turned to the pages. In spite of critics his knowledge is claimed for deep study. It was made in scientific and educational aims.
