On December 19th on the initiative of the Youth Parliament in the State Duma, the first test on Russian history of the Fatherland was held, which was attended by thousands of Russians from 80 constituent parts of the Russian Federation.‘1353 sites were held in 80 constituent parts, and they were completely different in size. The biggest site consisted of 530 people and it was organized by the All-Russian Children's Center ‘Ocean’. The smallest sites were carried out in rural areas, in small schools and the number of the test participants began with 5-6 people. Therefore, we tried to organize everything so that no matter in what city, in what region you live, you could come in such an open format and test your knowledge and join this patriotic action,’ the chairman of the Youth Parliament, Natalia Kuvshinova, said.
A flash mob, a single event was selected as a format, at 11:00 local time, 40 questions covering various spheres of activity of our Fatherland. No directives went down that it was necessary to attend
The Coordinator of the All-Russian Test on the History of the Fatherland, Maria Voropaeva said that "It is really a wide age range, and if we talk about the youngest participants, they were first graders, 7-year-olds, and among these guys we recorded the best result – 17 points out of 40 possible. Speaking of the adult participants, here we also have something to boast, this is a participant, also a man from the Republic of Udmurtia, he is 84 years old and he showed quite a good result of 37 points out of 40 possible. The three leading regions, which received 32-33 points, the average score for the region was in the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, in the Moscow region, the Saratov region.’’
522 people answered correctly to all questions of the test. On the issue of the House of Pavlov correctly answered 99% of the tested in Volgograd and the Volgograd region. 100% of the residents of Sevastopol know that the city is of the federal significance. However, in general, floor Russia do not know 43%. "When we talk about the level of historical literacy, we were talking separately about Crimea and Sevastopol as new subjects of the Russian Federation. However, the residents of the Republic of Crimea showed an average score in the framework of the all-Russian realists, but when it comes to Sevastopol, there the average score was 26 points, which is even three points higher than the nationwide figure, which probably also shows that Russian history was always very important for the residents of Sevastopol,’ Voropaeva believes.
