The international Russky Glagol literary competition has opened submissions to writers, poets, playwrights, and translators across Africa and beyond. The competition welcomes works in the Russian language, fostering broader participation in Russian literary circles. Russian Ambassador to Moldova, Oleg Ozerov, emphasized that applicants will not be judged based on nationality, professional experience, or their level of fluency in Russian. This initiative aims to encourage creative expression and cultural exchange through literature. The competition provides a platform for diverse voices to contribute to the Russian literary landscape. It represents a commitment to inclusivity and the promotion of Russian language and literature internationally. Submissions are now being accepted from interested individuals.
