Anatolii Fomenko

Anatoly Ruchyov is quite a talented guy. One day he decides to enter a prestigious Soviet university — the institute of international relations. But, alas, he overestimates his strength and doesn't achieve his goal. This saddens the young man a little, but he doesn't even think to lower his hands. Anatoly decides to go to military service and reach heights in this area. At first, it is a little lost, but, after the time has elapsed, it is mastered, because there is nowhere to go. Slowly he turns into a real exemplary fighter.

A young postman is in love with a girl named Lika—her hair, her comb, her veil—yet they are not meant to be together. A young woman is in love with the postman—his bag, his letters, his love for Lika—yet they are not meant to be together.
