Now it is studied in many universities of the country and abroad. She entered the university textbooks.

According to foreign researchers, A. N. Uzhankov for the first time in Russian "literary science" proposed the theory of formations and stages of development of Russian literature from its origins to the Petrine era. The provisions of Uzhankov's work put forward and revealed on the basis of extensive material may well serve as a theoretical basis for a new conceptual history of Russian literature, the need for which has been written about so much for decades and continues to be written by domestic and foreign literary critics. Similar (in terms of scale and significance) literary concepts do not appear very often: one or two per century. For the twentieth century, it was the "theory of the history of styles", put forward by Acad. V. N. Peretz before the revolution and found further development in the studies of P. N. Sakulin, D. I. Chizhevsky, D. S. Likhachev, G. K. Wagner and others.
