In Zainsk, they wrote a "Tatar Dictation."

      The event gathered leaders, deputies, and educators at the Subbukh Rafikov Library. The Central Library of Zainsk became the main venue for the global educational campaign "Tatar Dictation." Representatives from various professions came to test their literacy: deputies, educators, librarians, and district-level leaders. The text was chosen deliberately — an excerpt from the story by Gabdulla Tukay "Bähet" ("Happiness"). Before the main part, participants wrote down the words of the song "Tugan tel" on paper. The dictation was read by the director of the Central Library System, Sariya Batreshina. The event was timed to the 140th anniversary of the great poet. The head of the department for working with public organizations, media, and interethnic relations, Amina Bikkina, welcomed all participants on behalf of the local branch of the World Congress of Tatars and the head of the district, Razif Karimov. She emphasized that the residents of Zainsk willingly participate in the campaign. On April 24, the dictation was written by the residents of Tatarstan, the next day it will be written in Russian regions, and on the 26th — by compatriots abroad. Regular participants — the head of the kindergarten "Altynchech," Leyla Mustafina, and the director of the RDK, Guzaliya Gatina, admitted that such events strengthen the connection with their native language and enhance writing culture.

      The finale of the event was the presentation of letters of appreciation on behalf of the World Forum of Tatar Youth. The campaign, let us remind you, has stepped far beyond the republic: 26 countries and 73 regions of Russia joined it.
