Brodsky wrote about Carla Proffer: "He returned the Russian literature continuity of development and thus restored her dignity ... he saved numerous Russian writers and poets from oblivion, from distorting their words, from nervous disease and despair. Moreover, he changed the climate of Russian literature. The collection of new stations by August, presented in this edition, entered the poem of 1962-1982
