On November 5, 2026, the fifth season of the All-Russian civil—patriotic dictation "My Love, my Soul is Russia!" started at the Presidential Academy in Moscow. The project is being conducted by the Presidential Academy and the Scientific and Educational Theological Association (NOTA).
The dictation is dedicated to the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. Participants were asked 30 questions about history, culture, law, civic identity, religious traditions and the unity of the country's peoples. More than two thousand sites in Russia and abroad joined the project.
In his address to the participants, Bishop Kirill of Sergiev Posad and Dmitrov, President of NOTA, Rector of the Moscow Theological Academy, emphasized the importance of spiritual heritage for connecting generations.
"For us, the Fatherland is not just a territory on a map. This is a story of human destinies, sometimes difficult, but at the same time a grandiose testimony to the possibility of coexistence in brotherly love and cooperation of people of different nationalities, cultures and religions," said Bishop Kirill.
You can take dictation up to and including November 8 on the website of the Presidential Academy. Schoolchildren of grades 5-11, students and adults, including compatriots abroad and foreign citizens, are invited to participate.
Participants will receive personal certificates with final scores. The absolute winners will be invited to be awarded at the Presidential Academy and the educational program in Moscow and the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra.
