[1] In 1921 she became a member of the Union of Soviet Writers, on the recommendations of Mikhail Gershenzon and Nikolai Berdyayev.

Her 1927 book Golodnay epopeya (The Famine Epic) remained unpublished, as did the novel SOS or the Constellation of Scorpio.

In labour camps she wrote the novel Amor and in exile Moya Sibir (My Siberia, a collection of diaries, published in 1988).

Anastasia Tsvetayeva's acclaimed Vospominaniya (Memoirs), finished in 1967 and first published in 1971, by Sovetsky Pisatel, made her famous, and remains her best-known work, although later books, Starost i molodost (Old Age and Youth, 1988), Nepostizhimyie (The Incomprehensible) and Neischerpayemoye (The Unfathomable, both 1992) were also lauded by critics and literary historians.

In January 2012 the Anastasiya Tsvetayeva Museum opened in Pavlodar, where she spent her first post-exile years in the early 1960s.
