In October 1942 he began to publish in the Red Fleet newspaper “Severomorets”, and in April 1945 he became a staff member of the daily Red Fleet newspaper “Krasnoe Znamya” of the Pechenga Naval Base.

He was awarded a medal for ‘For Courage’. He also received numerous Acknowledgments for excellent combat performance.

All through the war he kept a diary in which he recounted his military service day by day. On these pages he recorded the events that took place on the eve of the Great Victory in April and May 1945.

After the war he worked for the newspaper 'Severny Put'' as a correspondent for the Vologda and Nyandomsk branches of the Northern Railway from 1954-1963. He wrote sketches about production leaders - machinists, carriage drivers and track workers. He worked in the popular feuilleton genre.

Since January 1963 he started to work in the regional newspaper 'Krasny Sever' as a literary employee of the information department, then worked in the department of Soviet construction and everyday life, travelling correspondent of the letters department. The main topic of his speeches was Vologda participants of the Great Patriotic War.

From 1973 to 1979 he was appointed Director of the publishing house of the Vologda regional newspaper 'Krasny Sever'.

He was a part-time correspondent for the central newspapers 'Gudok' and 'Sovetskaya Torgovaya'.

He wrote the books On Rybachy Street the Snow Flurries (Vologda, 2000) and Small Stories about the Big War (Vologda, 2002). To do this, he became skilled at using a computer, typed the text himself, and printed it on a printer when he was in his 80s. Only 25 copies of the book, which can be called a bibliographic rarity, are kept in several libraries in Vologda and Murmansk.

His first book is composed of his front diaries, his memoirs of his service in the Northern Fleet.

Other books written by Farutin represent notes from front-line notebooks and publications from the regional newspaper Krasny Sever, dedicated to his battle friends — fellow soldiers and countrymen.
