Sergey Dovlatov said something similar in an interview to Viktor Erofeev in
1990 (published as "Dar organicheskogo bezzlobija"):
"Ja russkij po professii...
Moja professija - byt' russkim avtorom...
...za mnoj, kak za kazhdym iz nas... stoit russkaja kul'tura."
(Quoting from: Sergey Dovlatov. Sobranie Sochinenij. St. Petersburg:
Azbuka-Klassika. Vol. 4, p. 388.)
