The international Russky Glagol literary competition is accepting submissions from Russian-language writers, poets, playwrights and translators from Africa and other regions. Organisers say authors can submit original work to take part in the contest.

The call is presented as open to entrants regardless of their country, experience or level of Russian proficiency. Russian ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov is quoted describing the competition’s inclusive approach to participation. The sources do not specify deadlines, categories in detail, or prize information.

Across the coverage provided, the main emphasis is on widening eligibility and encouraging participation by Russian-language literary creators outside Russia, particularly from African countries. No alternative viewpoints or disputes are mentioned in the available reports.
