Residents of the Smolensk region are invited to test their knowledge in the “Great Ethnographic Dictation”

From 3 to 12 November 2026, the X International Dictation organized by the FADN of Russia will be held. The action is aimed at strengthening civic identity, promoting spiritual and moral values and combating the falsification of history.

The dictation will be held in two formats:

Face-to-face - at more than 2 thousand sites throughout the country (including about 250 publicly available).

Online - on the official website of the action for everyone from anywhere in the world.

A special feature of this year will be that the questions of the Dictation will be read out by participants of a special military operation and representatives of the peoples of Russia in video format. It is dedicated to the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia.

From September 14 to September 30, a competition for the best question to the dictation is held on the website Mirethno.rf. Anyone can offer their option through the tab “Propose a question”. The winner will receive commemorative prizes.

The results will be announced on December 12, Constitution Day. Details are available on the official resources of the action.
