"Victory Dictation" held in 80 countries worldwide

With the support of Rossotrudnichestvo, the Victory Dictation, an international historical campaign on the events of the Great Patriotic War, was held in 80 countries of the world.

The venues of the campaign were Russian Houses Abroad, schools, libraries, universities. Great help in organizing the campaign was provided by the "Victory Volunteers".

Taking into account the large-scale geographical features, an international version of the test tasks, divided into several thematic groups - "America", "Europe", "Asia", "CIS", as well as a light version for foreigners studying Russian, was developed. The tasks contained questions about the contribution of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition to the common Victory, about the organization of work in the rear and the partisan movement.

Visitors to the Presidential Library's portal have opportunity to learn about the materials of the large-scale electronic collection Memory of the Great Victory, which includes official documents, photographs and newsreels, wartime newspapers, books, propaganda publications, collections of articles, biographies, testimonies of combatants and home front workers, their personal documents and much more.

Only a part of the materials from the electronic repository is publicly available on the Presidential Library's portal and in the remote access centers opened in 30 countries of the world.
