Svarovsky, after graduating from high school, at the age of 19 emigrated to Denmark, was granted an asylum, and lived in [Copenhagen](/source/Copenhagen). In 1996, he returned to Moscow where he worked as journalist.<ref name="litkarta" /> He also published poetry at net resources and read it at poetic events.<ref name="davydov">{{cite web|url=http://www.litkarta.ru/dossier/itogi-goda2007/dossier_2336/|title=Итоги года|last=Davydov|first=Danila|year=2011|publisher=Книжное обозрение|language=Russian|accessdate=16 January 2017}}</ref> In 2007, he published his first book of poetry, which was shortlisted for the [Andrei Bely Prize](/source/Andrei_Bely_Prize).<ref name="litkarta" /> This book, ''Vse khotyat byt robotami'' (Everybody wants to be a robot), was described as escapism from the real world to the fantastic world populated by robots; however, this fantastic world turns out to be very similar to the real one.<ref name="davydov" />

In 2008, Svarovsky gave a talk where he came up with the theory of "new epos", a new creative tool, applying it to his own poetry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://os.colta.ru/literature/events/details/1249/?_ga=1.217463638.1950938349.1485268089|title=Что такое "новый эпос"|last=Babitskaya|first=Varvara|date=20 February 2008|publisher=Colta|language=Russian|accessdate=24 January 2017}}</ref> He considers himself a [postmodernist](/source/Postmodernism).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colta.ru/articles/literature/8917|title=Федор Сваровский: "Никаких угнетаемых или неслышных голосов нет"|last=Sdobnov|first=Sergey|date=20 October 2015|publisher=Colta|language=Russian|accessdate=24 January 2017}}</ref>
