Successful in his literary endeavors, Selvinsky nevertheless continued to live an adventurous life. In 1929 he worked as an instructor of fur farming in Kirghizia. In 1933 he participated in a polar expedition and thereafter travelled widely in Europe and Asia. All these experiences are amply reflected in his works' (Terras).Tarasenkov p. 336.
