Summary:The most important aspects of the research of Il'in that turned out to be ahead of his time are analyzed. These aspects are as follows: the relationships and simultaneous development of surface rocks, relief elements, and soils; the integrity of the development and hierarchical spatiaL-temporal variability of landscapes; the continuous displacement of natural zones (evolutionary and revolutionary, when moving to the equator and poles, respectively); the succession of climatic phases of the geological cycle--from the interglacial xerothermic phase to the glacial cold and humid one separated by transitional phases with a temperate climate; and the complex subaerial-stream theory of the origin of loess.
