| Abstracts: | The article provides information about the origin and essence of the Total Dictation as a means of attracting the attention of different categories of the population to literacy in the Russian language, and through it to the Russian ethnoculture. In the context of globalization and digitalization, the decline in public interest in written culture is largely due to the fact that live communication, oral counting, reading, calligraphic writing are being replaced by television, personal computers, smartphones and other modern technical means of communication. Accordingly, the rules of written speech are not always observed, which indirectly affects the prestige of the Russian language, which became a means of interethnic communication during the Soviet years. One of the means contributing to the revival of interest in the Russian language are Total Dictations which were initiated by enthusiastic philologists of Novosibirsk State University. This university became a methodological and coordinating center of the event, which eventually became all-Russian and international The system of events for dictation includes such areas as the selection of a text from the works of modern writers, the organization of seminars for teachers who carry out the dictation, the selection and distribution of materials for preparatory courses, conducting a dictation, summing up the results, analyzing mistakes, awarding the winners, promoting such events to attract the attention of the population to the Russian language and Russian ethnoculture. A special version of TruD was prepared for foreigners. During the coronavirus pandemic, an online system for conducting dictation and checking literacy was developed. Educational free action in the form of a voluntary dictation became a large-scale project in the struggle for universal literacy. Now it includes educational posts, courses, lectures, seminars, webinars, etc. Analysis of typical mistakes of those writing the total dictation contributes to the motivation for interest in the Russian language, Russian people, Russian ethnoculture, the formation of tolerance, mutual understanding and mutual rapprochement of peoples, especially in conditions of confrontation and polarization of society. Similar dictations are held in European languages and in the languages of non-Russian peoples of multinational Russia. In Chuvashia, they are held mainly on ethnopedagogical topics.
