This year’s nationwide radio dictation will take place on Tuesday, 27 October, on the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language. It will start at 11:00.
The author of the text is writer and veteran of the Russian–Ukrainian war Artur Dronʹ. There are two readers this year: Ukrainian language and literature teacher Artur Proydakov and singer, public figure, and volunteer Dasha Astafieieva.
Artur Dronʹ spoke about writing the dictation text this year on the program "Zi svoimy po suti".
What Artur Dronʹ said
This year’s text is titled "A Letter That Doesn’t End." Its author conceived it as a personal conversation with someone close, while at the same time uniting hundreds of thousands of people. Artur Dronʹ admitted that he rewrote this text at least twenty times and worked on it for about two weeks.
"There is one version, but I rewrote it about twenty times, probably. Because it’s a text with a very small number of words. It’s literally about two hundred words, right? How do you pick the two hundred most important words? Especially when some of them will be repeated,"
the veteran said.
He emphasized that he wants the Radiodictation to unite people every year. He stressed that language creates a sense of togetherness, and that this takes on special meaning in times of danger.
"My dream is that people writing this text would be able to think of the person most important to them and write this text for them,"
Dronʹ said.
