Perelešin began his literary career at a young age, he first published in 1927 in magazines and newspapers, and in 1937 he published his first book of poetry V puti. From 1938 to 1952 he lived in China before moving to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. In the 1950s he did not publish any work, but resumed publishing in the late 1960s and published his reviews and essays in Russian émigré magazines in France and the United States.
