His fate is briefly described, including the beginning of scientific and pedagogical activity at the Omsk Agricultural Academy (1922–1925), work at the Pulkovo (1926–1928), Nikolaev (1928-1934), Poltava (1934–1938) observatories, universities in Novosibirsk (1938–1948), at Irkutsk State University and its observatory (1948–1955). In 1947–1948, as a result of party investigations, I. N. Yazev was expelled from the party and dismissed in connection with the concealment of the fact of the membership and the work in government bodies during the Kolchak government (1918–1919), as a result of which he was forced to move to Irkutsk.
