The proposed five-volume edition is unique. To date, this is the most complete collection of Sergei Dovlatov's works. In addition, it includes detailed commentary by St. Petersburg State University professor I.N. Sukhikh. The texts are published taking into account the author's latest edits. Today, Sergei Dovlatov is one of the most popular and widely read Russian writers of the late 20th century, and he is "doomed" to remain so for a long time. His works are the very great classics that, for all their significance, remain interesting and close to readers, regardless of age, nationality, erudition, or, in the words of Dovlatov himself, "the degree of intellectual pickiness." Lev Losev formulated this quality of Dovlatov's prose as follows: "Dovlatov knew the secret of how to write interestingly."

The first volume publishes the famous story "The Zone" and short stories and stories from the 1960s and 1970s.

The second volume contains Dovlatov's most important works of the early 1980s: "Compromise", "Reserve", "Nashi".

The third volume includes the books "March of the Lonely" and "Craft". In 1980-1982, Dovlatov ran a column in the weekly newspaper "New American", being its editor-in-chief. Dovlatov later combined some of the materials published in the newspaper into a collection, "March of the Lonely". The writer himself considered newspaper work no less important than artistic creativity. This volume presents, for the first time, in full, articles, essays, feuilletons, interviews related to S. Dovlatov's two-year work at "New American".

The fourth volume includes such famous works by S. Dovlatov as "Foreigner", "Suitcase", "Branch", as well as stories from the 1980s.

The fifth volume includes Dovlatov's famous "Notebooks" and his philological prose. The appendix contains fragments that were not included in the final text of the "Notebooks", as well as from the book "Not Only Brodsky".
