In 1931 Shelkov was imprisoned for the first time by the Soviet regime and spent almost all his life in prisons and camps. [ [http://www.adventistas.com/novembro2000/russiasd.htm Letter on Adventist Site] ] His last confinement began in 1979, when a Soviet court in Tashkent sentenced him (than a delicate eighty-three-year-old man) to five years of hard labor camps.

He died in a labor camp Tabaga near Yakutsk in 1980.
