Today in Kazan, as in many Russian cities, the Total Dictation was held. Nadezhda Ragozina, Deputy Minister of Justice, dictated the text at Kazan State Energy University.
This was not the first time Nadezhda Ragozina has taken part in the project.
"It's a really important and necessary event that promotes the native language, literacy and culture, so I always respond to the invitation," the Deputy Minister said.
This year the author of the text for the dictation was a Russian writer Vasily Avchenko. His text is about Vladimir Arsenyev, a Russian traveler, writer and explorer of the Far East.
