From real experience

tipTo send mail from the Maldives to Russia, one can inquire at the post office or airport postal counters.
Hotel butlers might also assist. Be aware that mail delivery can take up to three months. It's common practice to send postcards as souvenirs. New USD bills (blue perforation, from 2013 onwards) are recommended for transactions.
