That was the title of the National Unity Radio Dictation, which took place internationally on 27 October 2026. This annual event is not the first of its kind to take place in Ukraine and around the world, and it is held specifically on Ukrainian Writing and Language Day. 
Usually, people from all walks of life, of different social backgrounds, professions and so on, take part in the dictation. This year, members of our department were also involved. Professor Mykola Myronenko of the Department of International Economics, Management and Social Sciences and Humanities, together with staff from the scientific library of the Dnipropetrovsk State University of Metallurgy and Technology (UDUNT), took an active part in this event. 
Using modern gadgets, the dictation participants tuned in to national radio and, within half an hour, wrote down the original text of a contemporary work of Ukrainian literature as dictated by the presenters. 
The text by the writer and veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Artur Dron, was dictated live on air by Artur Proydakov, a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature, and Dasha Astafieva, a social activist and volunteer. 
It is now worth analysing the written text for errors, but the main idea behind the event is not this, as such gatherings of like-minded people help to consolidate society and establish certain patterns of behaviour. 
I would like to conclude with a pertinent thought from the dictation: ‘If language is not subject to time and space, then this letter ends nowhere and never.’
