The theme in Utkin's early creative period was often war. His first important publication was the story of the red-haired motel ( Повесть о рыжем Мотэле ) in 1925, which dealt with the changes in the life of the Jewish population after the October Revolution . He subsequently wrote several volumes of poetry. From 1925 Utkin worked for Komsomolskaya Pravda .
