He later returned to Skoda Xanthi, where he made his first appearance in the last match of the season against Ergotelis; since the 2012–13 season, he has been a member of the starting line-up.

Why this record matters
“Yuri Lodygin” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Yuri, Lodygin and Russian-Greek provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12875294. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2000, 2008 and 2009.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
