Because it is very important to analyze the historical and historical context in which Dovlatov started his “career” as a writer because he would not have had the same life and would not have written the same works, has he lived in other time and space – he was the product of his time.
The stories of Tallinn by Dovlatov can be taken as a unique relation between truth and fantasy – here is the relation between the truth and fantasy of Soviet life as well as the relation of the author’s fantasy and the so-called “real people’s” real life.
The Tallinn period of Sergei Dovlatov is so mythologised that even the scholars of literature do not know where the truth ends and the legend begins.

Till the age of 37 Sergei Dovlatov lived in his native country, the Soviet Union, and had to endure the pressure brought to bear on him by his ideological opponents.
The second reason why Dovlatov failed to have his books published in the Soviet Union is, according to Andrei Aryev, that the writer's opponents could not forgive him his strong feeling for anything that was absurd in life-say, his characters are strange in many respects yet they are personalities.
Dovlatov emigrated to become a professional man of letters and was proud that he could reach his goal.

 Sergey Dovlatov. Borderline Writings of a Russian Emigrant :: Literature :: Culture & Arts :: Russia-InfoCentre
Sergey Dovlatov (1941-1990) stands out in Russian literature as a most enigmatic man of letter, his works bordering between documentary evidence and play of fancy, between seeming simplicity and inconceivable magnetism, between risque humour and wisdom.
Sergey Donatovich Dovlatov (Mechik) was born on September 3, 1941, in the city of Ufa where his family was evacuated from Leningrad.
Upon demobilization Dovlatov studied at the Faculty of Journalism, worked as a journalist in a factory newspaper (which he also used later in his ironical reminiscences) and started writing stories.

It is intended to examine Dovlatov’s response to the complex processes affecting Russian cultural and intellectual life in the 1970s and 1980s, and to examine the re-assimilation of his fiction into post-Soviet Russian literature, as an example of the reintegration of third-wave émigré literature.
The focus of the study will entail an examination both of the literary process and Dovlatov’s role in it as an aspect of cultural history and of his literary output in its relation to Russian traditions of short prose.

 Val Vinokurov, Princeton University
This paper examines Sergej Dovlatov as a corrective voice in the midst of a hyperbolic Russian discourse on exile and immigration.
Writers as diverse as Gercen, Dostoevskij, and Eduard Limonov have fostered a literature that mystifies the "forsaking" of the native land, a mystification that is especially voluble when the place of exile happens to be America--"the land for forgetting one's own" (Garibaldi, in Gercen).
Where Conrad insists on the "unnaturalness" of being a transplant, perhaps Dovlatov implies that, notwithstanding patriotism and nostalgia, it is only natural for most people (and not just writers) to be unnatural anyway.

 CONTEXT: Vsevolod Brodsky: Letter from Russia
Sergei Dovlatov and Sasha Sokolov--the major Russian-language novelists of the third (1970s) emigration--had been published at the end of the 1980s, but didn't really receive due attention until the early 1990s.
And even then it was important that they garnered approval from that most vaunted authority--much was made of the fact that Nabokov had endorsed Sokolov, and an interview Dovlatov had invented with the dead master was widely reprinted.
In the wake of Pelevin, it became clear that while the country was studying Nabokov and Dovlatov, a new generation of writers had come to maturity.

Unlike Aleshkovsky, Sergei Dovlatov, 42, was a virtual unknown in his homeland.
Currently one of the most visible writers in exile, Dovlatov is a regular contributor of fiction to The New Yorker.
The tales are conspicuously devoid of the anger, overt and covert, that characterizes many émigrés' writing about their native country; Dovlatov's stories gently ridicule the obtuseness of the Soviet bureaucracy and the mendacity and corruption that invade everyday life.

It reminds me of a dialogue between Sergei Dovlatov and Iosif Brodsky, a long-time antagonist and die-hard enemy of Evtushenko.

Dovlatov didn't expect to see him so ill, and he didn't find anything better how to start a conversation, but to exclaim: "So, you are resting here on a couch, and there [in Russia] Evtushenko is criticizing the kolhoz system." "If Evtushenko is against - I am for it", Brodsky sighed.
