Where is the highest mailbox in Russia located? Which Russian coats of arms feature a bear? Which mountain can be seen from any point in Pyatigorsk? These are just some of the questions that participants of the 2023 Geographic Dictation encountered. Try your hand this year! The anniversary Geographic Dictation will take place on November 16 and 17 at 12:00 local time. Participants will have 45 minutes to answer 40 questions. The tasks are divided into four versions, split into two parts. The first part consists of 10 questions on "geographic basics," covering commonly known geographical facts. The second part of 30 questions will require imaginative thinking, logic, and erudition. You can join at one of the in-person venues, which now number over 10,000. The full list is available on the website (https://dictant.rgo.ru/place_search). A remote option will be available on November 16. With the support of Rossotrudnichestvo, the Dictation will also be held abroad — follow the news of the Russian House in your country (https://t.me/rossotrudnichestvo/6265). In the meantime, you can practice by completing the demo version, available until November 15. (https://dic.rgo.ru/demo/)
