Thank you for the opportunity and for the excellent organisation. It was an honour for me to participate in the Dictation. I really liked the idea behind it! This way people from all over the world get a chance to prove their knowledge of the Russian language and Russian culture on an international level. It was also a great way to get to know Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. From my observations, this year has been extremely successful for the competition.

I would like to thank all the organisers for the opportunity to participate in this bright, large-scale global event! Participation in the competition is an important stage for all those who study Russian language and literature. It creates motivation to learn the language, which is one of the main conditions for success. This event awakens the desire to learn even more about the vast culture of Russia!

Maryam, Tajikistan, 15 years old
I would like to share my experiences of Russian Dictation 2024. It was very exciting to write it while competing with other participants from all over the world. I learnt a lot of interesting things about the history and culture of Kaliningrad. During the Great Patriotic War my great-grandfather, Avaz Yusupov, reached Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), where he got wounded. As a result, he celebrated the victory in Kaliningrad. That is why a part of my soul is attached to this city. I am very proud that I took part in dictation about such a marvellous city as Kaliningrad.
