" Live dictanT
On November 1, residents of Russia took part in the All-Russian Geographical Dictation. To conduct a unique educational event of the Russian Geographical Society, 220 sites were organized and three versions of tasks were prepared, each of which consisted of 25 questions.
The main goal of the action is to check how well the residents of our country know their homeland. Not their region in which they live, but Russia as a whole. Therefore, experts have compiled three different versions of questions for three groups districts: questions in option 1 were answered by residents of the Siberian and Ural federal districts; Option 2 was prepared for the Far Eastern Federal District; and option 3 – for other districts of Russia.
Each version of the task included questions that were not related to the place of residence of the dictation participants.
Another reason for preparing different versions of tasks was to eliminate the possibility of cheating during dictation. Since the dictation started across the country at 12:00 local time, residents of those regions who answered the questions first (due to the time difference) could post the correct answers on the Internet. By preparing three versions of questions, the organizers of the dictation were able to maintain intrigue for all residents 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 will be able to find out your result on December 10, 2015 on the website, using the unique identification number that you received while completing the tasks. The work of Russians will be checked only by professional geographer teachers.

Testing online
For those who for some reason were unable to take part in the dictation at the Russian Geographical Society, 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 large educational event that we had been preparing for so long, so enthusiastically and seriously, found a different scenario. We, who know well that geography in recent years schools pay, to put it delicately, not the most close attention, and could not have imagined that it would be so in demand, and that the number of people wishing to assess their geographic literacy would be many times greater than our expectations!
Unfortunately, the RGS server could not withstand such a load (which, to be fair, we note, also happens with much larger, technically equipped organizations). On the one hand, this is, of course, very sad. But on the other hand...
Yes, all of us - both the organizers and, most importantly, the participants - are offended that the first in the history of the country geographical dictation didn't go as planned. However, the fact that so many people responded to the “geographical call” and that there is a genuine interest in geography in society did not allow us to give up. And he clearly showed: everything we do is not in vain.
In the end, the problem was solved, and those who were partial to geography were able to write a dictation. In total, more than 27 thousand people took part in it.
Thank you to everyone who treated the current situation with understanding and patience and did not cower in the face of temporary difficulties!
The questions for the online test were combined from those tasks that were distributed to visitors of offline sites. We bring to your attention questions and answers online testing on.
