Luxembourg, Ethiopia, Portugal, Lebanon and Syria will join the Victory Dictation this year for the 1st time, the Pobeda RF website reports. To date, about 80 countries have confirmed their participation.

According to the coordinator of the action, Alexander Khinshtein, about 16,000 sites will open. He noted that where the face-to-face presence is hampered by an unfavorable epidemiological situation, the action will be held online. He expressed confidence that history lovers will join the Victory Dictation in no less than 80 countries. In particular, they will be able to write a dictation in person in China, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Moldova, Serbia, Egypt, Morocco, Malaysia, and Cyprus.

The current historical action differs from the past ones in a large variety of test tasks. There are four thematic blocks: for the American continent,  European states, the the Asian region, and the countries of the CIS and the post-Soviet space.

The questions of these blocks are devoted to the contribution of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition to the Victory, the help of the allies, as well as the organization of the partisan movement behind enemy lines.

This year, the questions of the Victory Dictation can be answered in English. The English version is a lightweight version of the test, created for foreigners interested in the history of Russia.

A separate version of the dictation in Chinese has also been developed.
