In 1909 Szeluto took a position as a professor at the Berlin Conservatory, and later relocated to work as a judge near Astrachan, Russia. He took part in the Russian Revolution, and was named Chairman of the local Revolutionary Committee. Afterward he worked for a time in the Ministry of Justice in Poland.[2] His compositions from this period reflected his dedication to the ideal of Socialist realism.
Monument to Szeluto in Słupca.
In 1934 he settled in Słupca in Greater Poland, where he worked as a notary and later as a judge. When the Nazis occupied Poland, he worked as a baker and street trader, while continuing to compose.[3] In his later years, he suffered from a progressive mental illness. He died in a nursing home in Chodzież, and was buried at the Słupca Cemetery. His papers are housed in the National Library in Warsaw. A music school in Słupca bears his name.
