Residents of Tatarstan send 800 thousand letters a month.
Every day, about 27 thousand shipments are received for sorting, which means that the tradition of writing paper letters remains in demand even in the internet age. On August 2, people around the world traditionally celebrated the birthday of the mailbox. Despite the active development of information technology and the widespread use of the internet, residents and organizations in Tatarstan continue to actively send and receive paper letters. Every month, postal workers extract over 800 thousand shipments from mailboxes for written correspondence installed on the streets and in post offices across the region, with a total weight exceeding 16 tons. The collection of correspondence is carried out strictly according to schedule, after which all letters are sent to sorting areas for further processing and delivery to recipients. Daily, an average of 27 thousand letters are received for sorting in the republic, totaling more than half a ton of postal correspondence. This statistic confirms that paper letters remain a familiar and convenient means of communication for many people. The history of mailboxes spans over five centuries, with the first street mailbox in Russia installed in St. Petersburg in 1848. The first mailbox in modern Tatarstan appeared in Kazan in 1866, and since then, all residents of the city have been able to drop their letters into it. Today, mailboxes continue to play their important role, connecting people and organizations throughout the republic.
