The personality of the writer has recently become especially relevant. On November 3, 2020, on the anniversary of his death, the most important event for Belarusian culture took place: the writer's ashes finally returned to their homeland, they were reburied at the Eastern Cemetery. Now, the National Library has joined the celebration of the cause of perpetuating the memory of Zmitrok Byadulya, having created a virtual section of the project "On the Waves of Time throughout Life" dedicated to the anniversary of the writer.

The section contains 29 of his digitized books by Zmitrok Byadulya, which were published during the life of the "maladnyakovets" and are now kept in the collections of the National Library.
