#GeographicalDictation2026 🌍 In a great annual tradition, the Russian Geographical Society invites you to take part in the 2026 Geographical Dictation. Launched at the Society’s initiative with the support of the President of Russia, MFA Russia and Rossotrudnichestvo, this annual international educational event encourages people around the world to explore Russia and discover its beauty that stretches from the Baltic to the Pacific. The questions range from familiar facts to puzzles that call for logic, a keen eye and creative thinking. You can test your knowledge, learn something new about Russia and see geography in a different light. 🗓 The online Dictation is available from November 22 to December 10, 2026 (12 pm local time). You can take part at any time during this period. ☝️ No registration is required. Choose from four versions: ▪️ Main version – 30 questions in Russian. ▪️ International version – 20 questions in English and in other languages where volunteer translations are available. ▪️ Extra version – 30 questions in Russian and English. You can take this version as many times as you like. ▪️ Geodictation. Advanced Level – 20 questions for those who want to test their geography knowledge at expert level. 🌐 In 2025, the Dictation set a new record with 10,375 venues across 120 countries. Oman, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic took part for the first time. 2025 marked the 180th anniversary of the Russian Geographical Society, the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and 500 years of exploration of the Northern Sea Route.
