Later, she became part of an Experimental Demonstration school-commune in Kostroma. Following this, she was sent by the Union of Educators to the A. I. Herzen LGPI, specifically to the department of Russian language and literature. In 1926, she successfully graduated from the A. I. Herzen LGPI and also pursued postgraduate studies there from 1938 to 1941. After her graduation in 1926, she taught Russian language and literature in Leningrad at various institutions, including the labor school No. 181, the Pulp and Paper College, and the I.P. Pavlov School No. 16. During 1935-1936, she taught practical stylistics at the evening department of the LGPI. In 1941, she defended her postgraduate thesis, focusing on "The Language of epics in the records of the XVII century". During World War II, she was evacuated to Yaransk, where she served as an associate professor at the Department of Russian Literature of the Kirov Pedagogical Institute until October 1943. Between 1946 and 1950, she participated in dialect research in the Pskov, Novgorod, and Arkhangelsk regions. From 1943 to 1947, she pursued her doctoral studies in the sector of ancient Russian literature at IRLI. In 1950, she successfully defended her doctoral dissertation, titled "Essays on the language of oral Russian poetry of the XVII—XIX centuries." From then until her passing, she worked at various institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
