💡 How did the festival movement begin in Russia? Back in 1957, the World Festival of Youth and Students was held for the first time in Moscow — and it brought together 34 000 participants from 131 countries right from the start! The idea was simple but powerful: bring talents from around the world together and build a new future side by side. That's where it all began. ▶️ By the way, for the IFY–2026, the Dzen platform put together a special surprise for our guests — a video on the history of the festival movement in English, adapted especially for an international audience. And that's not all — Dzen's AI assistant, "Glyph," has also learned English just for the Festival, explaining the news in simple language. Now international participants can follow what's happening in Russia and the world, even without knowing any Russian. ⚡️ Want to stay updated on everything happening at the festival? All the important news — on Dzen's dedicated channel. Follow along, it's going to be interesting!
