Raisa Nilovna
Raisa
also: Раиса Ниловна, дьячиха, the sexton's wife
Savely Gykin's young wife, married to him only because her dying father arranged the match to keep the sexton's post in the family. Handsome, restless, and starved for any life beyond the filthy watch-house, she is accused by her husband of being a witch who summons storms; her wordless longing for the snowbound postman drives the story's central scene.
