He was especially concerned with the history and criticism of Esperanto literature, the ideology of the proletarian revolutionary Esperanto movement, the nationality problem and cosmoglottics. In ''La Nova Epoko'' he published several essays on Esperanto literature (about Baghy, Bulthuis, , , Mikhalski, Devkin, Schulhof, and others). His critiques set out mainly from an original sociological viewpoint, but he simultaneously paid much attention to the use of language in the works.
In the early 1930s he actively participated in the compilation and preparation of material on literature for the '' Enciklopedio de Esperanto''. He also published many of Zamenhof's letters.
In 1931 he was one of the cofounders of (''International Association of Revolutionary Esperanto Writers''), and edited its first newspaper, ' (''The New Stage'').
Arrest, execution, and rehabilitation
Nekrasov was arrested in 1938, and accused of being "an organizer and leader of a fascist, espionage, terrorist organization of Esperantists". For this crime he was shot to death on 4 October 1938. His archive and library were obliterated; presumably many of his unpublished works and translations thus perished. He was posthumously rehabilitated as innocent on 26 November 1957.Works

It is known that the largest of his original works was the grand poem "Kazanovo" (en:''Casanova'') — which according to the impressions of those who read the manuscript, was at a very high level poetically. At least one copy of the manuscript still existed in the beginning of the 1960s, but later disappeared without a trace.Quotes
