Scandal with a "total dictation" in the Ulyanovsk region: the governor banned Dina Rubin

The Ulyanovsk participants in the All -Russian campaign “The Total Dictation” wrote under dictation not the text of Dina Rubina , like all Russians, but Vasily Peskov - by decision of the local governor Sergey Morozov, who does not like the eminent writer for “non -normative vocabulary” in her books, RIA Novosti reports.

"The work of the writer, actively using non -normative vocabulary in his works, does not correlate with the concept of the" total dictation ", the action primarily advocates the purity of the Russian language, for increasing the culture of the letter. Therefore, I propose to replace the text," Morozov said.

As a result, participants in the Governor's Culture Palace of Culture wrote a dictation about their countryman artist Arkady Plastov. The same text sounded for everyone who came to the dictation in 77 educational institutions or wrote work remotely.

The original version of the text sounded only at the sites at universities.

The regional Ministry of Education, in turn, stated that they consider such a move quite acceptable.

“This is normal. Some people wrote the original text, and some of the alternative - about our fellow countryman,” commented on their position in the department.

The participants of the dictation suffered as a result of the universal of the governor, since the organizers of the action said that they cancel the results of the work written against the general rules of the event, Komsomolskaya Pravda writes.

At the same time, the organizers of the action apologized to the injured participants. Olga Rebkovets, head of the Total Dictation project, called the actions of the head of the region the disrespect and violation of one of the main principles of the Total Dictation - a single text.

According to Rebkovets, the organizers learned about the decision of Morozov on Saturday evening from his microblog on Twitter and this information caused, to put it mildly, bewilderment. “In this case, one of the main principles of the action was ignored with the submission of the governor in Ulyanovsk. In this regard, the event that took place yesterday at the Governor's Palace of Governors and was called the Total Dictation,” it was impossible to consider it as such, ”the reznovets told the agency.

She considers the reason for the replacement of the text the reason for the replacement of the text. “After all, if we rely on these criteria, we will have to urgently prohibit the texts of most of the authors of Russian classical literature for public reading. We can evaluate this personal initiative of Governor Morozov as disrespect for the action, its participants and organizers and the use of the name of the project to promote a local event and self -Piroar,” said the Rebkovovets.

She emphasized that the organizers of the project guarantee the absence of slang elements and non -normative vocabulary in the texts written for the "total dictation".

Recall, on April 6, 2013, a voluntary action "Total Dictation" was held in Russia. The event was attended by residents of 181 cities of the country. According to the organizers, about 30 thousand people decided to check the level of their literacy. However, taking into account the online broadcast on the Internet, the number of participants could be several times higher.

The text of the dictation was written by the Israeli writer Dina Rubina and was dedicated to the Internet. Both the organizers of the action and the Rubin itself recognized that the task would be difficult, primarily in terms of the arrangement of punctuation marks, isolation of sentences, writing a dash.

Famous cultural figures were involved in the event. Leonid Yarmolnik read to students of the Higher School of Economics, Andrey Kortnev in Masi, and Dmitry Bykov in RUDN. In St. Petersburg, the action was held under the dictation of a deputy of the Legislative Assembly, a teacher of history Maxim Reznik.

Dmitry Bykov called the decision of the Ulyanovsk governor "shame for the country"

The writer and journalist Dmitry Bykov harshly criticized the governor of the Ulyanovsk region Sergey Morozov, who replaced the original text of the Total Dictation, written by Dina Rubina, to the story of Vasily Peskov.

"I have a complete feeling that I was in a surreal novel - I could never imagine this in my country. When they recall the nationality of the writer who writes in Russian, reads the whole world and has a reputation as a wonderful stylist - this is such a shame for the country," he said on the air of the Radio Echo of Moscow .

Bykov proposed replacing the works of Pushkin and Gorky with the texts of Vasily Peskov. According to the journalist, the governors themselves very much "often use obscene vocabulary, so often that only it in the texts is read and read."

In 2011, Dmitry Bykov wrote a text for the Total Dictation. Last year, the participants were dictated by the text of Zakhar Prilepin, who also announced the absurdity of the situation.

“I read this text yesterday - I acted as an announcer in Nizhny Novgorod. The text is quite logical, reasonable, does not contain propaganda, Russophobia, xenophobia. This is normal, written in good Russian, very convenient to dictate it,” he said to the NTV TV channel.

The writer recalled that the action is organized by two ordinary people who primarily want to increase interest in the Russian language.
