" Live" dictationt
On November 1, the inhabitants of Russia took part in the All-Russian geographical dictation. To conduct a unique educational campaign of the Russian Geographical Society, 220 sites were organized and three options for tasks were prepared, each of which consisted of 25 questions.
The main purpose of the action is to check how well the inhabitants of our country know their homeland. Not their region in which they live, but Russia as a whole. Therefore, the specialists compiled three different versions of questions for three groups of districts: residents of the Siberian and Ural federal districts answered the questions of the 1st option; Option 2 was prepared for the Far Eastern Federal District; and option 3 - for the rest of Russia's districts.
Each version of the task included questions that were not related to the place of residence of the participants in the dictation.
Another reason for preparing different versions of tasks was to exclude the possibility of cheating during the dictation. Since the dictation started across the country at 12:00 local time, residents of those regions that answered the questions first (due to the time difference) could post the correct answers on the Internet. Having prepared three variants of questions, the organizers of the dictation were able to keep the intrigue for all the inhabitants of Russia.
Today we bring to your attention not only the questions of the All-Russian geographical dictation, but also the correct answers to them!
We remind you that you can find out your result on December 10, 2015 on the website using the unique identification number that you received during the assignments. The works of Russians will be checked only by professional geographers.

Online testing
For those who for some reason could not take part in the dictation at the RGS venues, online testing was conducted on the portal. Those who decided to try their hand online were less fortunate than those who took part in the “live” dictation: the big educational campaign that we had been preparing for so long, so enthusiastically and seriously, acquired a different scenario. We, who are well aware that in recent years geography has been given in schools, delicately speaking, not the closest attention, and could not think that it is so in demand, and the number of people who want to evaluate their geographical literacy will many times exceed our expectations!
Unfortunately, the RGS server could not withstand such a load (which, in fairness, we note, happens with much larger, technically equipped organizations). On the one hand, it is, of course, very sad. But on the other...
Yes, all of us - both the organizers and, most importantly, the participants - are offended that the first geographical dictation in the history of the country did not go as planned. However, the fact that so many people responded to the "geographic call" that there is a genuine interest in geography in society did not let us give up. And he clearly showed that everything we do is not in vain.
In the end, the problem was solved, and those who were not indifferent to geography were able to write a dictation. In total, more than 27 thousand people took part in it.
Thanks to everyone who treated the current situation with understanding and patience and did not shy away from temporary difficulties!
Questions for the online test were combined from those tasks that were distributed to visitors to offline sites. We bring to your attention questions and answers online testing on.

We, who are well aware that in recent years geography has been given in schools, delicately speaking, not the closest attention, and could not think that it is so in demand, and the number of people who want to evaluate their geographical literacy will many times exceed our expectations!
Unfortunately, the RGS server could not withstand such a load (which, in fairness, we note, happens with much larger, technically equipped organizations). On the one hand, it is, of course, very sad. But on the other...
Yes, all of us - both the organizers and, most importantly, the participants - are offended that the first geographical dictation in the history of the country did not go as planned. However, the fact that so many people responded to the "geographic call" that there is a genuine interest in geography in society did not let us give up. And he clearly showed that everything we do is not in vain.
In the end, the problem was solved, and those who were not indifferent to geography were able to write a dictation. In total, more than 27 thousand people took part in it.
Thanks to everyone who treated the current situation with understanding and patience and did not shy away from temporary difficulties!
Questions for the online test were combined from those tasks that were distributed to visitors to offline sites. We bring to your attention questions and answers online testing on.

Also, the educational campaign was supported by the federal media.
One of the main principles of the All-Russian campaign is anonymity. On the task and answer forms, you can indicate your real name or pseudonym. Each participant will receive a unique identification number, by which he will be able to find out his personal result on December 10 at rgo.ru.
The works of Russians will be checked only by professional geographers.
The dictation will allow assessing the level of geographical knowledge of all categories of citizens of our country and will draw attention to the problem of geographical literacy. Based on the results of the All-Russian knowledge test, changes will be made to educational programs in geography.
The theme of the dictation in 2015 is “My country is Russia”.

On November 26, 2017, the third Geographic Dictation took place in all regions of our country and abroad. Not only the whole of Russia, but also many foreign countries tested their knowledge. The action took place in 26 states. In addition, if last year Dictation was written on 1,464 sites, then in 2017 there were more than 2,300 of them!
China became the leader in terms of the number of venues for the educational campaign among foreign countries, where the Dictation was held in 10 cities at once. The largest site abroad in terms of the number of seats was the branch of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov in the city of Baku, where 800 participants were able to write the Dictation.
In Russia, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) became the leader in terms of the number of venues, where Dictation was held in 308 organizations. The second place belongs to the Republic of Bashkortostan - 209 sites, the third - to the Krasnodar Territory - 122. The largest site in our country was Voronezh State University, where 2,000 participants were able to write Dictation.
Geographical dictation - what is it and what is the complexity
The large-scale educational campaign, initiated by Vladimir Putin, is being held by the Russian Geographical Society for the third time.
President of the Russian Geographical Society Sergei Shoigu, Rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy, members of the Academic Council of the Russian Geographical Society and famous athletes, cadets and Yunarmiya members came to test their knowledge of geography at the main site of the Geographical Dictation at Lomonosov Moscow State University.
According to the Russian Geographical Society, this year Australia, Azerbaijan, Argentina, Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Serbia, Syria, Turkey, Montenegro, Czech Republic, China, Romania and other states have joined the action - in total, the dictation will be written in 26 countries.
The most unusual sites were opened on the research vessel Akademik Fedorov as part of the Russian Antarctic Expedition and on the Lenin nuclear icebreaker, which is currently a museum and cultural heritage site in Murmansk. Also, according to the information of the Russian Geographical Society, the dictation will take place on the trains Nizhny Novgorod - Moscow and in the "Strizh" Moscow - Berlin.
In 45 minutes, it was necessary to answer 30 questions, which were broadcast on a large screen and were accompanied by illustrations.
The questions were divided into three blocks: the definition of geographical concepts and terms according to their description; identification of geographical objects on the map and the ability to apply knowledge in practice; determination of geographical objects by a fragment of a literary work.
One of the main principles of dictation is anonymity. You do not need to indicate your name on the task and answer forms, according to the Neelov website. Participants are asked to write only age, occupation, attitude to geography (for example, a student or teacher of a specialized university), and some other information.
The highest score that can be obtained for a dictation is 100 points.
Participants of the Dictation who performed it in person will be able to find out their personal result after December 25 on the website dictant.rgo.ru using a unique identification number received on the sites.
Geographical dictation pass online
For those who could not come to the venues, an online dictation was organized on the website dictant.rgo.ru. It started on November 26 at 14:00 Moscow time and will last until November 30, 2017 at 14:00 Moscow time.
Those who passed Dictation online will see the result immediately after answering the questions.
On November 26, 2017, the All-Russian geographical dictation will be held in Yakutsk, which will be held at the site of the historical park "Russia - My History".
The All-Russian geographical dictation has been held since 2015 by the Russian Geographical Society on the initiative of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Geographical Society. In 2015, the dictation was held at 210 venues in our country, with a total of 44,365 people taking part in it. In terms of the number of participants, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was in the lead - 7026 people. In 2016, 1,464 sites were organized in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which is 7.1 times more than in 2015. In 2016, 187,187 people have already joined the campaign. Of these, 92,240 people wrote the dictation in person, and 94,947 tested their knowledge through the website. Among the regions, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) became the absolute leader in the number of those who wrote the dictation for the second year in a row, where more than 15 thousand people checked their geographical literacy at more than 500 sites.
In 2017 Dictation will go international. Residents of Russia and foreign countries who speak Russian, regardless of age, education, social class, religion and citizenship, will be able to participate in the Dictation.
You can become a participant in the Dictation by contacting any venue, regardless of where you live. The address of the nearest site can be found on the website http://dictant.rgo.ru.
Participation in the Dictation is voluntary and free.
The dictation consists of 30 tasks of varying degrees of complexity and includes testing knowledge of geographical concepts and terms, basic patterns, the location of geographical objects on the map and the ability to apply knowledge in practice.
Before the start of the Dictation, each participant receives a printed form for writing the Dictation, a form with Dictation tasks and oral instructions for filling it out. The time for completing tasks by the participants of the Dictation is no more than 45 minutes. The total time for the dictation, including instructing the participants, is 60 minutes.
Each participant is assigned an individual identification number, which is entered into the form for writing the Dictation upon receipt. This number is also duplicated in the form of a tear-off sheet, which remains with the participant of the Dictation. According to it, the participant will be able to check his result on the website http://dictant.rgo.ru
The total score for the Dictation is 100.
Carrying out Dictation at regional venues: November 26, 2017 in 12:00 by local time.
Conducting Dictation online: with 14:00 November 26, 2017 before 14:00
