In the mid-twenties Chulpan while working in Moscow literary consultant Drama Studio House Education. He was, as usual, a lot of work. Wrote the novel "Night and Day", a few plays, poetry, intensely engaged in translation. It transfers have contributed significantly to his creative growth. Increased skills Chulpan in this period is obvious. Perhaps this is what triggered the appearance in 1927 of articles in which the writer accused of "bourgeois-nationalist views." The onset of overt persecution Chulpan, which is somewhat abated by the beginning of the thirties. This allowed several Chulpan enhance its creativity. So, two years before his arrest, which followed in the autumn of 1937, Chulpan translated into Uzbek language works Lakhuti "Journey to Europe", Pushkin's "Dubrovsky," and "Boris Godunov", Gorky's "Mother" and "Yegor Bulychov" finishes his novel "Night and Day" (1936), produces a collection of poems, "Soz" (1935). At the rebuke members of the Writers' Union, that he works little, Chulpan replied with dignity: "... if you give more - then boil the pot, but I do not want to boil the pot.
