November 4 is National Unity Day in Russia. However, for many people, the essence of this public holiday remains rather vague, and the words about unity sound formal. How exactly to unite and with whom?

For the first time "Ethnographic dictation" was held in Udmurtia. In 2017, the action expanded its geography. The Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs, which is one of the organizers, notes that this year, in addition to Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Abkhazia and South Ossetia will join the project.
What will be in the tasks?
Participants will have to answer 30 test questions, 20 of which are devoted to federal issues, and the remaining 10 - to regional issues.
In order to successfully pass the test, you will need knowledge about the peoples of Russia and the CIS countries - their languages, religion, cuisine and traditional crafts. Information about the federal structure of the Russian Federation is also useful.
The total score for the dictation is 100, and 45 minutes are given to complete.
