Matroskin was the farthest to the left even before the reseating.

## Solution

According to the condition, the one farthest to the right is Sharik. Specifically, he sits to the right of Matroskin. After the reseating, there was no one to the left of Matroskin. This means there was no one there before! So, the one farthest to the left is Matroskin. Next to him, according to the condition, is Uncle Fyodor. And then, in the only remaining free spot - the postman.

## Answer

(From left to right) Matroskin, Uncle Fyodor, Pechkin, Sharik.
