He then joined the Gorky Institute of the world literature at the Russian Academy of Sciences. From 1979 until 1989, Belza contributed regularly to ''Literaturnaya Gazeta'' as a foreign literature reviewer. He is the author of more than 300 essays, the majority of which focus on foreign literature and Russian authors' links with the European culture. Among his notable works are "Brysov and Dante" (''Dante and the Slavs'' anthology, 1965), "Bryusov and Poland" (1966), "Don Quixotes in Russian Poetry" (1969), "The Polish Connections of P.A.Vyazemsky" (''Polish-Russian Literary Relations'' anthology, 1970), "Graham Greene" (''English Literature'', 1945–1980, 1987), "Pushkin and the Slavic Nations Cultural Unity" (1988), "Dante e la poesia russa nel primo quarto del XX secolo" (from ''Dantismo russo e cornice europea'', Firenze, 1989), "Rozanov and his Readership" (Vasilij Rozanov.
