Creativity
The poems of Belsevitsa in Soviet times were subjected to severe censorship, she herself for many years left the public literary life.

Indri латa Latvieša piezīmes uz Livonijas hronikas malām ; 1969 ), in which the image of a Latvian chronicler, forced sympathetically describe the gains of a regime alien to him, used by the poetess, as it is believed, to express his attitude to the Soviet regime in Latvia [4] .
A series of songs written by Raimond Pauls , including “Es mīlu tevi tā ...” (“I love you so much ...”) is written to the poems by V. Belševica - the Latvian prototype of the famous song “Old Clock” from the repertoire of A. Pugacheva . The songs “Es aiziet nevaru” (performed by Mirdza Zivere ) and “Kamolā tinēja” (performed by Imants Skrastins ) became winners of the national pop song contest “ Microphone ” in 1979 and 1980 , respectively.
