She works as a postwoman in the rural depths of Bashkortostan. There are still villages there that are not marked on maps, and there are no roads leading to them. The only connection they have is the river. To deliver mail to the residents, she spends most of her life on the water. In the summer, she travels in a motorboat, and in the winter, she uses a snowmobile to travel across the frozen river. And the river took away her husband. With this pain, she lives for many years.
