A grand parade in national costumes was held in Ufa and two world records were set at once. "More than 2,700 people took part in the parade. 2 world records were set, one of them by the number of nationalities in the khorovod – 71. The second record for the number of countries in the khorovod. We have registered 57 participating countries. Representatives of 37 foreign countries came to us, it would seem, including Russia there should be no more than 38. But considering that residents of other countries who came here as tourists live in the Republic of Bashkortostan, they became part of the khorovod and were able to confirm their involvement in another country," comments Gulnara Yurina, Director of the Parade, head of the Directorate of Cultural Programs of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The ceremony was attended by the editor-in-chief of the Book of Records of Russia Stanislav Konenko and the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Bashkortostan Amina Shafikova.

"You are great fellows, everything worked out just perfectly! This was our goal to gather all of you at the Folkloriada-2021. And we did it! We are the unity!" - said the President of the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts CIOFF®️ Philippe Beaussant.
