Her poetry and translations—mostly from the Kalmyk and Avar languages—appeared in the pages of literary periodicals from the 1930s.[1][2] Her first volume of poetry, Bonfire on the Snow, was printed in 1974, and her second collection, Thoughts on the Way, was released two years later.[3] She published her final collection of verse, Fancies of Memory, in 1990.[4]

A street in Elista, Kalmykia is named in her honour.[5]
