On March 24, 2025, history was made at the Central House of Writers in Moscow, where the world record for a multilingual poetic flash mob was officially confirmed. In an awe-inspiring demonstration of unity through poetry, 300 poets from diverse backgrounds came together to simultaneously read 100 poems about peace in 30 different languages—all within just 60 seconds.

A Moment of Non-Silence: WE ARE PEOPLE OF THE SAME PLANET

This groundbreaking event, titled “A Moment of Non-Silence: WE ARE PEOPLE OF THE SAME PLANET,” was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the great Victory. The performance was not just a record-breaking act but also a powerful call for harmony, reminding the world that despite linguistic and cultural differences, we share a common humanity.

Official Recognition & Legacy

The record was officially confirmed by the judges of the “BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS,” marking an unprecedented achievement in the realm of literary and cultural events. Certificates were awarded to representatives of the World Organization of Writers (WOW), recognizing the significance of this poetic gathering.

A Literary Testament to Peace

To immortalize this extraordinary event, the poems read during the flash mob will be compiled in a special publication titled “A MINUTE OF SILENCE.” The book, to be published by WOW, will serve as a testament to the voices of poets who, for one powerful minute, spoke in unison for peace.

This world record is not just a milestone in literature—it is a declaration of global solidarity through the timeless power of poetry
