Selvinski's most important work is The Gang of Oeljajev (1926), a verses about partisans in the Eastern Steps, with a lot of local locals. His novel in verses The fur trade (1927) deals with the tragicism of the romantic intellectual under the dictatorship of the proletariat; The protagonist eventually commits suicide, which Selvinski was critically accused of the Soviet crititci.
Selvinski gradually became increasingly disillusioned in communism, which also caused a shift in his work. His later poems are mostly aesthetic and obedient. Selvinski fulfilled many jobs in his life, from actor to circus boxer and from dockman to fur processor. He obtained an academic degree in Social Sciences in Moscow.
