Resident in the coal mining area of Donbas for over 30 years, Biletskyy has devoted himself to mining technology - as a practicing engineer, inventor and scholar. Biletskyy was the initiator, science editor and project manager of Mining Encyclopedia (1998–2013), which resulted in creating a nationally unified mining terminological system in Ukraine, with the publishing of a 3-volume Mining Encyclopedic Dictionary (2001–2004) and Concise Mining Encyclopedia (2004–2013) to follow. These are now used as textbooks in the National Mining University of Ukraine.[2]

As a scientist, Biletskyy is interested in such areas as adhesion of liquids on hard surfaces, mineral processing, automatic control of mining processes, coal mining technologies, hydraulic coal transportation and coal-water separation, to mention but a few. He laid the scientific foundations and developed the technology of oil coal agglomeration in Ukraine. He is the author of the theory and the applications of adhesive gold dressing; he has also investigated the specificity of adhesive bonds of supra-molecular structure substances. Biletskyy patented his numerous ideas, in particular, on various processing and transporting technologies, as well as on automatic processing, in Ukraine and Russia. A holder of the Mississippi Education Consortium and the Institute for Public-Private Partnerships Certificates, he has been co-working with other researchers and research organizations internationally. Biletskyy is a Heritage Foundation expert and represents Ukraine in the Global Nest.

Graduate of the International Community Connections Programme (2001), and expert[4] of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, Biletskyy is also an activist. He was originally a member of the Communist Party of Ukraine (1975–1990). He later became one of the co-founders of the People's Movement of Ukraine (Rukh) in Donbas. Biletskyy left Rukh in 1997, due to his new conception of the development of the party being rejected by the Rukh leadership. His conception, in particular, envisioned a new cadre policy as based on professionals, and shifting the emphasis, which Rukh had on political sphere, to the socio-economic life of the country. In 1997–2012, Biletskyy was consultant to the Deputies of Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament), O.V. Kulyk, Ivan Drach, and O.I. Klymenko.

Biletskyy is a co-founder and head of the Donetsk branch of Shevchenko Scientific Society (1997), the Donetsk branch of Ukrajina-Svit Association (1997), the Donetsk Regional Association of the Ukrainian language (1989).
