After completing a seven-year rural school, at age fifteen he entered a special school of the Soviet Air Forces in Odesa. After that school was closed, he enrolled in the naval aviation school in Yeysk, where he studied alongside future Soviet cosmonauts Georgy Shonin and Georgy Dobrovolsky. He did not graduate, being demobilised early during the reduction of the Soviet armed forces in 1956. After demobilisation he moved to Kyiv, where he worked for nearly ten years as a stoker. While working, he studied by correspondence at the Faculty of History and Philosophy of Kyiv University (1958–1964); from that time he began writing poetry only in Ukrainian. In 1962 he first took part in archaeological fieldwork with the Southern Ukrainian Expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR and continued participating in fieldwork in 1965–1968.

Poetry
In addition to scholarly works, Mozolevskyi left a substantial body of poetry. He began writing verse in childhood. His first poetry collection, Russian: Начало марта (Beginning of March), was published in 1963. In the late 1960s he began writing in Ukrainian and produced poetry books reflecting on Ukraine's history and contemporary life, including Ukrainian: Червоне вітрило (1976), Ukrainian: Веретено (1980), Ukrainian: Кохання на початку осені (1985), Ukrainian: І мить як вік (1986) and Ukrainian: Дорогою стріли (1991).
He also wrote the lyrical novella Duma pro step (Ukrainian: «Думи про степ»), written in the 1960s; it won second prize in the closed "Yevshan-zillia" competition (1967–1968), but was not published until 1996.
In his poetry he expressed lyrical experiences and reflections on the fate of Ukraine through the prism of its historical past. He was friends with artist Mykola Trehub and kobzar Mykola Tovkailo, who were also associated with the Institute of Archaeology and contributed to science and the arts.
