He wrote about a hundred dramatic works and opera libretto . For his own plays, he borrowed stories from French plays, saturating them with everyday details from the life of Russian merchants, philistines, and provincial actors. Vaudevilles of Lensky (over 70) were distinguished by their scenic nature, rapid course of action, incredible situations, and skillful use of the methods of “rude comedian”, puns and wit. Published "Opera and Vaudeville, translations from French" (parts 1-4, 1835-1836).

The best vaudevilles of Lensky (“ Lev Gurych Sinichkin, or Provincial Debutant ”, production of 1839 , and others) have long been in the main repertoire of the Russian theater.
