23 Rubinstein St., Saint Petersburg, Russia, 191002
On September 3, 2016, on his 75th birthday, a monument was unveiled to the writer and journalist Sergey Dovlatov. The commemorative composition is a bronze figure of Sergey Dovlatov, 2.2 meters tall, standing in the doorway of his own apartment. Next to him is a table with a typewriter, symbolizing the writer’s creativity. It is installed on the sidewalk by the facade of the building at 23 Rubinstein Street, where Dovlatov lived from 1944 to 1975. A memorial plaque was also placed on the left side of the building. The sculptor is architect Vyacheslav Bukhaev. The procedure for installing memorials in St. Petersburg requires that at least 30 years pass since the death of the person being commemorated. However, the governor has the right to sign a document allowing an exception, which was done in this case.
There are places on Rubinstein Street that Sergey loved to visit. He admitted: “I used to drink quite a lot. And, accordingly, I hung around anywhere. Because of this, many thought I was sociable. Although as soon as I sobered up — all sociability disappeared.”
He always dreamed of becoming a writer like Kuprin, whom everyone would love and read. This happened in 1989, and in 1990 Dovlatov died. But the echo of his growing fame still caught up with him. He managed to learn that he was being read in his homeland. However, his lifelong dream — to return to his native country and be recognized as a writer — never came true.
One of the creators of the monument, Vyacheslav Bukhaev, personally knew the writer and recalls that he was a cheerful and great man.
Next to Sergey Dovlatov’s monument on Rubinstein Street, near the house where the famous writer lived, a figure of his fox terrier Glasha was installed. Vyacheslav Bukhaev states that, according to the writer’s widow Elena Dovlatova, this is exactly how Glasha took care of her everyday needs. Dovlatov’s friend Era Korobova remembers that little Glasha made a huge puddle in her room: “So small, and such a puddle! Simply amazing.” The monument to Glasha is divided into two parts; the second part is in the Dovlatov Square on Zagorodny Prospect, 15.
