The answer to this question is provided by the “Great Ethnographic Dictation” event. It invites everyone to test their knowledge about the culture of numerous peoples of 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.

Participants will have to answer 30 test questions, 20 of which are devoted to federal issues, and the remaining 10 to regional issues.

The Great Ethnographic Dictation website was unavailable due to an influx of users, the organizers of the event reported.

The fact is that we did not expect such a stir. More than 50 thousand people simultaneously accessed the site, and the server crashed. But after half an hour we were told that everything would be fine. The server will work, everything will be fine,” the organizers clarified.

When trying to access the miretno.ru resource, the message “504 Gateway Time-out” was displayed for a long time. The site resumed normal operation at approximately 1:50 p.m.

On Tuesday, the Great Ethnographic Dictation took place in St. Petersburg for the first time. According to the federal coordinator of the event sites, Anastasia Karavaeva, city residents showed great interest in the event.

I think that the first event went unexpectedly well; we were surprised by such a high interest. Every day during preparation the action gained popularity. People were constantly calling, asking when testing would start,” Karavaeva explained.

Many participants found the test questions unexpectedly difficult. The action is designed to attract people to independently study ethnography, Karavaeva emphasized.

The questions were selected in such a way as to arouse people’s interest in culture, religion and other areas of people’s lives. I agree that the questions were a little difficult, but they should arouse curiosity. When I took the test myself, I realized that then you start looking for answers out of inertia,” Karavaeva noted.

Those who did not make it to any of the ethnographic dictation sites are invited to take an online test on the official website. According to the organizers, it will be possible to participate in the action until October 5th.

The large ethnographic dictation consists of 30 questions. All participants are offered tasks of equal complexity, divided into regional and federal parts. Anyone who answers all questions correctly will score 100 points.

The all-Russian event “Great Ethnographic Dictation” will allow us to assess the level of ethnographic literacy of the population, their knowledge about the peoples living in the Russian Federation.

The dictation is carried out with the aim of assessing the level of ethnographic literacy of the population, their knowledge of the peoples living in the Russian Federation. The action will help strengthen interethnic peace, harmonize interethnic relations, and also attract attention to ethnographic science.

The Great Ethnographic Dictation will assess the level of ethnographic literacy of the population, as well as people’s knowledge of the peoples inhabiting Russia, will contribute to the national and cultural development of the peoples of the Russian Federation, will be aimed at preserving their ethnocultural identity, strengthening interethnic peace and harmony.

The promotion will be held on a single day in the Russian Federation, October 4, 2016. The results will be solemnly summed up on November 4 - the day of national unity.

Conducting a Dictation will not only allow for a kind of monitoring of competence, but will also draw attention to ethnography as a science and will once again help demonstrate that the multinationality and multiculturalism of our country is the source of our strength and competitiveness.

We invite various institutions to become a platform for dictation, and we promise that any resident of Russia will be able to write an ethnographic dictation, and participation in it will be free.

The event will take place simultaneously in all regions of the country according to the local time of the regions; dictation participants will receive tasks of the same level of difficulty that will need to be completed within a certain period of time.”

Alexey Egorovich Zagrebin

Chairman of the Assembly of Peoples of Udmurtia, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The topic of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Russia is inexhaustible and cannot fit into 30 questions of ethnographic dictation. But our task is that after this action the residents of Russia have a desire to study their roots, the traditions of their ancestors, and learn more about those who live nearby. Because knowledge is the basis for mutual respect and harmony between people of different nationalities

Igor Barinov

R Head of the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs

The dictation will allow you to assess the level of ethnographic literacy of the population, their knowledge about the peoples living in Russia and will draw attention to ethnography as a science that occupies an important place in the harmonization of interethnic relations.

They will need to be completed within a certain time. The total amount of points that can be scored for completing all tasks is 100.
