He began writing as a representative of 'pure art' doctrine, during the Stalinist years adopted the official doctrine of 'socialist realism' (Rylsky's panegyry of Stalin: Stalin#Cult of personality). In 1937 he was involved in rewriting the libretto of Mykola Lysenko's opera, Taras Bulba. Later, Rylsky returned to neo-classical forms. Rylsky joined Communist party in 1943 and was a member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in 1946. He was awarded the prestigious Lenin Prize in 1960.
