He also worked on the editorial board of many other publications, such as Ishtirokiyun, Qizil bayroq (The Red Flag), Turkiston (Turkestan), Buxoro axbori (Bukhara News), and Darhon.
[2] Like many Uzbek authors of his time, such as Abdulla Qodiriy and Abdulrauf Fitrat, Choʻlpon was executed during the Great Purge under the leadership of Joseph Stalin.
[2] His three collections of poems, namely, Uygʻonish (The Awakening) (1922), Buloqlar (The Springs) (1924), and Tong sirlari (The Secrets of Dawn) (1926) were published during his lifetime.
In addition to writing numerous poems, plays, and short stories, Choʻlpon translated the works of foreign writers including Alexander Pushkin, Maxim Gorky, and William Shakespeare into Uzbek.
[5] Choʻlpon's first forays into drama date from 1919, when he wrote small stage works such as Temirchi, Gunoh, and Choʻrining isyoni.
