As per the project’s spokesperson, Kseniya Erdman, this year a number of participants might approach a round figure. Around 200 000 people wrote the Dictation last year.
About 20 000 volunteers will assist in managing the process at places. The volunteers include philologists, teachers of the Russian language, professors of higher educational institutions and everybody willing to help.
The Total Dictation will be held in almost all regions of the country, excluding Karachay-Cherkessia, Ingushetia, Nenets Autonomous District, Magadan and Altai. There are no coordinators for this campaign in the regions mentioned above.
