In Moscow, the main venue was Pashkov’s house, including officials from the presidential administration and cultural figures. The dictation was also held on board the ISS, on an icebreaker in the Murmansk region and for the first time in Crimea. In each region, 10 questions were devoted to local traditions and culture. For example, in Vladivostok many were puzzled by the question of what color stripes the Ussuri Cossacks wore.
The dictation took place in one of the most multinational regions of Russia. Naryn-Kala Citadel business card Derbent. Historical and cultural monument of world significance. The city is rightfully considered one of the oldest in Russia; its residents recently celebrated their 2000th anniversary. On the territory of the fortress and passed ethnographic dictation.
Every building inside is an architectural monument. They decided to hold the dictation next to the guardhouse; this building was built in early XIX century for the garrison of the royal troops. Anyone could participate, regardless of gender and age. At the same desk one could meet famous athletes, honored teachers, schoolchildren and officials of various ranks.
This is the second ethnographic dictation on knowledge of the cultures and traditions of Russians. There are more than 190 indigenous peoples in the country, and Dagestan alone is home to a third of this list. At all times, this region was called the “mountain of languages.” So, perhaps, many today heard for the first time that Karata residents live in Russia. The number of all Karata residents taken together is comparable to the number of residents of a small town - about 10 thousand people.
Khizri Asadulaev, sculptor, poet, writer: “We speak to each other in the Karata language, with the Avars in the Avar language, with the Russians and with other peoples in the Russian language.”
Which language is included in the Guinness Book of Records due to the number of cases? Last time, almost all dictation participants called this question tricky. Tabasarans, one of the nationalities of Dagestan, use 46 cases in their speech. Linguists consider this language one of the most complex in the world.
Marina Gasanova, director of the center for the study of native languages of DSU: “The Tabasaran language has such specific sounds that are absent even in other Dagestan languages, not to mention European languages, including Russian. For example, the bride - fuf, or the jackal - fufmyak, this is such a feature of the Tabasaran language.”
There are still 30 questions in this year's dictation. According to the participants, there are only a few difficult ones this time. For example, a dispute about what Sabantuy is brought the participants to unexpected frankness.
: “This is a holiday, not a dish, my husband is a Muslim.”
Participant in ethnographic dictation: “And I have a lover!”
The total number of points that can be scored for correctly completing all tasks is exactly 30, that is, one for each correct answer. The results will be announced on the occasion of Russian Constitution Day.
The head of the FADN of Russia, Igor Barinov, summed up the results of the Great Ethnographic Dictation. This year it was written by 367 thousand residents of Russia and 14 other countries. This is 4 times more than in 2016.
For writing dictations, 2,600 sites were opened throughout the country and abroad, and last year there were only about 800. At these sites, 167 thousand people tested their knowledge about the traditions, culture, and history of the peoples of Russia - 5 times more compared to last year. Thanks to the support of IA TASS, the newspaper " Komsomolskaya Pravda"and the government of Udmurtia in the organization electronic platforms The online dictation was written by more than 200 thousand participants.
As Igor Barinov said, the most sites and dictation participants were in Moscow (18 thousand people) and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (10 thousand people). For example, in Yakutia, 3 sites were organized at the cold pole in the Oymyakonsky ulus. The dictation took place at almost -45 degrees.
This year, the regions not only increased the number of venues and the number of participants, but also took an original approach to choosing the location for the dictation. It was written on the icebreaker "Vladivostok" in Murmansk, in the ancient Naryn-Kala fortress in Derbent, on the hundred-meter Tower of Concord in Magas, in the Kuban Cossack Corps in Krasnodar.
In addition, this year, for the first time, our compatriots in the CIS countries wrote a dictation, and Rossotrudnichestvo provided support in this. Kyrgyzstan showed the greatest interest in the event, where 23% of the total number of participants in the CIS countries wrote the dictation. The second largest number of participants was Tajikistan, the third was Moldova.
“For our compatriots now special meaning has strengthening ties with Russia, spiritual and cultural support from our side. History and traditions should not be forgotten,” noted Igor Barinov.
The average score in Russia for dictation was 17.4 (out of 30 possible) and this is 4% better than last year. In the CIS countries the average score is slightly lower - 16.5. “This is due to the fact that at the venues in the near abroad there were more share young people, and their knowledge, unfortunately, is worse than that of the older generation. But this is why we are holding an action to fill these gaps, and I am sure that we will definitely succeed,” added Igor Barinov.
As last year, representatives of the fair half of humanity turned out to be more active - about 70% of the participants were women.
When writing the dictation, each participant indicated his age. As a result, the share of young people (under 25 years old) was 60% in Russia and 80% in the CIS countries.
“The great ethnographic dictation gives people the opportunity to feel attention and respect for themselves, the concern of society and the state for the preservation of diversity national cultures and traditions, emphasizes the spiritual wealth of Russia, which every citizen can rightfully be proud of. But the most main task“This, of course, is about educating our citizens, informing them about the colossal ethnocultural diversity that our country has,” the head of the FADN of Russia explained the growing popularity of the action.
Minister for the Development of Civil Society Institutions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Anatoly Bravin drew attention to the surge of interest in the history and culture of the peoples of Russia after the completion of the dictation: “Providers reported that after the completion of the dictation the number of search queries on the Internet related to the peoples increased sharply Russia. The number of visitors to libraries has also increased. This indicates that after the dictation people had a desire to learn more about those who live nearby.”
At a press conference at TASS, he presented diplomas to the distinguished sites. The most valiant platform was the icebreaker "Vladivostok" (by the way, the crew scored an average of 23.4 points on the dictation), the most daring was the Kuban Cossack Corps named after Babych in Krasnodar, the most ancient was the Naryn-Kala fortress in Derbent (Republic of Dagestan), the most massive The platform was the Sima-land company from Yekaterinburg, where dictation was simultaneously written by 3 thousand employees, and the most “star” in terms of number famous people- Pashkov's house.
The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is noted as the most responsive and selfless region, Moscow - as the most active region, Udmurt Republic received an award as the most reliable partner, and the Republic of Ingushetia became the most enlightened region. In addition, a unique platform for the visually impaired was organized in Ingushetia: dictation questions were written in Braille.
The capital was also especially noted for the fact that the dictation was written here by the most young participant- a 7-year-old first-grader at one of the Moscow schools (last year the youngest was a 12-year-old resident of the Ulyanovsk region).
The award was received by the singer, winner of the show “Winner” Ragda Khanieva. Her photo from the Great Ethnographic Dictation received the most likes and won the competition that took place on Instagram.

It's a pleasure to take part in an event that is held throughout Russia! Just like that, without any coercion, of your own free will, at the behest of your soul. This is not the first time that I, accompanied by the perplexed glances of my neighbors: “Do you need it?”, early in the morning, in a crowded transport, among gloomy people hurrying to work, am going to write another dictation. This time - ethnographic. Probably not everyone knows what it is "Ethnography" and who are "ethnographers" - there is such a profession. I will contact the site "Ucheba.ru"
"The main method of ethnography is a direct observation of the life and customs of the peoples of the globe, their settlement and cultural and historical relationships, followed by their analysis. Because ethnography studies modern peoples not only in their existing, but also in their historical and cultural development, ethnogenesis and history of formation social institutions, then written and material sources are also used.""Ethnographers- humanitarian specialists of a wide profile. They must have a good knowledge of the history, geography, and languages of the ethnic groups they study. You need to have a good command of, in addition to English, one or two more modern foreign languages or the languages of the peoples of Russia. Core disciplines - anthropology (including medical), archeology, anthropology of religion and others. The most interesting thing in the educational process is summer ethnographic expeditions."
Employment. “Many ethnographers, after graduating from university, remain in science: they enter graduate school, teach at universities or schools. However, such prospects, of course, do not appeal to everyone, and the careers of many specialists develop in completely different fields, from journalism to departmental archives. There are quite unexpected areas of application specializations: some, for example, help engineers develop technologies that are suitable for residents of different regions. In this case, ethnographers determine how the average citizen spends his day, how he communicates with others - this is how the company’s products can be optimized.”
Now that I have introduced you to the concept of “ethnography,” I will tell you about dictation. We arrived at the KubSU site in a “small group”, or rather me, my son Ivan and Liliya Pavlovna Kazantseva, the main ideological inspirer of all our extracurricular activities. Even during registration, we received participant certificates stating that we wrote a dictation. But the results will be clear only on December 12. The correct answers will appear a little earlier - November 10th.
The audience was filled mainly with schoolchildren who, despite the holidays, came to test their knowledge. There were only three adults in our classroom: me, the student’s parent, and two geography teachers. It was very pleasant to meet Natalya Maratovna Ovsyannikova again, without whom not a single significant event takes place. educational event cities.
And now a little more about the dictation itself, more precisely, about the questions that seriously made me think, and again because of their ambiguity:
Let's start with the fact that the Tatar married women had to cover the hair, neck, shoulders, and back. Fabric bibs were worn under the dress with the help of straps and secured around the neck (or shoulders). This can be considered as a kind of man's shirtfront. It seems that based on this we can conclude that the correct answer is “to hide the chest section of a woman’s dress.”
But this same bib also served as “protection from the wind”? But why did only married women wear it? Don't young people need to hide from the wind?
And if you take into account that women decorated the bib with various embroideries. appliqués, and the richer the woman, the richer the embroidery... And only the words “Only...” and “exclusively...” made me reject answer options 3 and 4 as correct.Agree, the question is far from ambiguous.
Now the next question:
But here you need to “turn on the guessing game.” The fact that there are not 6 or 60,000 fairy tales is a no brainer, but what about the other numbers? The point is that several collections of “Russian Folk Tales” were published, one of them is a lightweight version, consisting of 61 fairy tales, and the other is a four-volume set, each volume contains approximately 150 fairy tales, that is, 600...
A question that just made me stunned. The fact is that dances, settlements, ships, and maritime knots have these names. Well, to be more precise, not literally. but the fact itself...
And this is just a sweet question! It can be turned to any answer option.
Probably only the laziest historian did not write about Russian Atlantis. And everyone has their own version of the existence of Kitezh-grad. In short, it was like this: The third son of the Grand Duke of Vladimir Vsevolod Yuryevich found the Big Nest - Georgy Vsevolodovich beautiful place on the shores of Lake Svetloyar and in three years (from May 1, 1165 to September 30, 1168) built the city of Bolshoi Kitezh. (Maly Kitezh was built a little earlier on the banks of the Volga).
And surprisingly, the city disappeared, but the chronicle remained. And everyone interprets it in their own way. Russian realist writer, publicist, ethnographer and fiction writer Pavel Ivanovich Melnikov-Pechorsky translated the text “Kitezh Chronicler”:
“And even lower, beyond the Kama, the steppes spread out, the people there are different: although they are Russian, they are not the same as in the Upper Reaches. There is a new settlement there, and in the Trans-Volga Upper Reaches, Rus' has since ancient times settled in forests and swamps. Judging by the people’s dialect, the Novgorodians are ancient Rurik times settled there."
And although the Mongol-Tatars contributed to the disappearance of the city, and then even lived a little on the shores of the lake, it is possible that the descendants of those same conquerors still live in those parts...
Great Mother Rus'! Many peoples have mixed over the centuries; there was a time when the answer to the question “nationality” was “Soviet”. Now people are beginning to restore their roots, resurrect traditions, and this is exactly what ethnographers are doing.
At home, after reading the blog post GEOGRAPHIC "Great ETHNOGRAPHIC dictation: how it was, or There are many peoples - one country!" and comments on it, I was very upset that many were unable to take the test online due to a network failure. Naturally, I couldn’t resist and tried to register and take the test again, especially since the questions were different. I got it right the first time. There are, of course, repeating questions, but the answer options are different. And, since I DO NOT know whether I answered the questions in the audience correctly, I think taking the dictation again is correct. And here is my result.
It’s worth saying one more thing. that the questions of the Great Ethnographic Dictation were provided by the organizer of the action - the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs and include 20 federal and 10 regional.
On November 4, Russia celebrates National Unity Day. However, for many people the essence of this national holiday remains rather vague, and the words about unity sound formal. How exactly to unite and with whom?
The answer to this question is provided by the “Great Ethnographic Dictation” event. She invites everyone to test their knowledge about culture numerous peoples Russia and abroad, as well as learn something new about the country and its closest neighbors.
For the first time, the “Ethnographic Dictation” was held in Udmurtia. In 2017, the promotion expanded its geography. The Federal Agency for Nationalities 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 will also be useful.
The total score for the dictation is 100, and 45 minutes are given to complete.
