At full speed: 40 people will write a total dictation in a moving Aeroexpress train

It will be possible to check your literacy only by pre-registration on the website of the organizer of the action, it is open from today. The text will be read by Russian journalist and TV presenter Mikhail Kozhukhov.

"This year, Aeroexpress will traditionally become a platform for Total Dictation. The event has already been held twice at the company's Unified Dispatch Center at Sheremetyevo Airport and at the depot at Belorussky Railway Station. This year, we will hold a dictation in a moving train and expect to receive 40 people in a double–decker Aeroexpress," said Andrey Akimov, CEO of Aeroexpress.

"Russian is rightfully considered one of the most difficult languages in the world, and it is not given to us without difficulty, let alone foreigners: how can we explain to them why the plate is on the table and the spoon, for example, is lying? Maybe it's time to simplify some of the spelling rules. But until this happens, it is necessary to write competently. I hope that Aeroexpress passengers will be happy to take part in the dictation: after all, this, like any trip, is a small challenge to oneself," Mikhail Kozhukhov shared

Alexey Varlamov, a writer, publicist, rector of the Literary Institute and an Honored artist, became the author of the dictation text. He prepared material about the childhood of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and his relationship with his parents.

Russian Russian Dictation is an annual cultural and educational event aimed at generating interest in learning the Russian language and improving the literacy level of native speakers and learners of Russian as a foreign and non—native language.
