Today is Sergey Dovlatov's birthday. He was a #Russian writer, born in Bashkiria, #Russia, whose life ended in New York. Russian writer who never betrayed himself and never stopped writing in Russian. In the #USA Sergey Dovlatov was published even in the legendary weekly "The New Yorker". “Getting into the New Yorker is rare for an American writer, and completely unimaginable for an emigrant. And he was published there twice.” - Mark Girshin in his essay "New York with Dovlatov”.
