Dear participant of the Great Ethnographic Dictation! Thank you for participating in the event and we remind you that the results will be summed up by November 27, 2018. You can find out your result by your identification number (indicated on the answer form) on the website of the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs http://fadn.gov.ru/ or on the promotion website http:// miretno. ru/ . Good luck!
It's a pleasure to take part in an event that is held throughout Russia! Just like that, without any coercion, of your own free will, at the behest of your soul. This is not the first time that I, accompanied by the perplexed glances of my neighbors: “Do you need it?”, early in the morning, in a crowded transport, among gloomy people hurrying to work, am going to write another dictation. This time - ethnographic. Probably not everyone knows what it is "Ethnography" and who are "ethnographers" - there is such a profession. I will contact the site "Ucheba.ru"
"The main method of ethnography is a direct observation of the life and customs of the peoples of the globe, their settlement and cultural and historical relationships, with their subsequent analysis. Since ethnography studies modern peoples not only in their existing form, but also in their historical and cultural development, ethnogenesis and the history of the formation of social institutions, written and material sources are also used.""Ethnographers- humanitarian specialists of a wide profile. They must have a good knowledge of the history, geography, and languages of the ethnic groups they study. In addition to English, you need to have a good command of one or two more modern foreign languages or the languages of the peoples of Russia. Core disciplines - anthropology (including medical), archeology, anthropology of religion and others. The most interesting thing in the educational process is summer ethnographic expeditions."
Employment. “Many ethnographers, after graduating from university, remain in science: they enter graduate school, teach at universities or schools. However, such prospects, of course, do not appeal to everyone, and the careers of many specialists develop in completely different fields, from journalism to departmental archives. There are quite unexpected areas of application specializations: some, for example, help engineers develop technologies that are suitable for residents of different regions. In this case, ethnographers determine how the average citizen spends his day, how he communicates with others - this is how the company’s products can be optimized.”
Now that I have introduced you to the concept of “ethnography,” I will tell you about dictation. We arrived at the KubSU site in a “small group”, or rather me, my son Ivan and Liliya Pavlovna Kazantseva - the main ideological inspirer of all our extracurricular activities. Even during registration, we received participant certificates stating that we wrote a dictation. But the results will be clear only on December 12. The correct answers will appear a little earlier - November 10th.
The audience was filled with mostly schoolchildren who, despite the holidays, came to test their knowledge. There were only three adults in our classroom: me, the student’s parent, and two geography teachers. It was very pleasant to meet Natalya Maratovna Ovsyannikova again, without whom not a single significant educational event in the city takes place.
And now a little more about the dictation itself, more precisely, about the questions that seriously made me think, and again because of their ambiguity:
Let's start with the fact that the Tatar married women were required to cover their hair, neck, shoulders, and back. Fabric bibs were worn under the dress with the help of straps and secured around the neck (or shoulders). This can be considered as a kind of man's shirtfront. It seems that based on this we can conclude that the correct answer is “to hide the chest slit of a woman’s dress.”
But this same bib also served as “protection from the wind”? But why did only married women wear it? Don't young people need to hide from the wind?
And if you take into account that women decorated the bib with various embroideries. appliqués, and the richer the woman, the richer the embroidery... And only the words “Only...” and “exclusively...” made me reject answer options 3 and 4 as correct.Agree, the question is far from ambiguous.
Now the next question:
But here you need to “turn on the guessing game.” The fact that there are not 6 or 60,000 fairy tales is a no brainer, but what about the other numbers? The point is that several collections of “Russian Folk Tales” were published, one of them is a lightweight version, consisting of 61 fairy tales, and the other is a four-volume set, each volume contains approximately 150 fairy tales, that is, 600...
A question that just made me stunned. The fact is that dances, settlements, ships, and sea knots bear such names. Well, to be more precise, not literally. but the fact itself...
And this is just a sweet question! It can be turned to any answer option.
Probably only the laziest historian did not write about Russian Atlantis. And everyone has their own version of the existence of Kitezh-grad. In short, it was like this: The third son of the Grand Duke of Vladimir Vsevolod Yuryevich Big Nest - Georgy Vsevolodovich found a beautiful place on the shores of Lake Svetloyar and in three years (from May 1, 1165 to September 30, 1168) built the city of Bolshoi Kitezh. (Maly Kitezh was built a little earlier on the banks of the Volga).
And surprisingly, the city disappeared, but the chronicle remained. And everyone interprets it in their own way. Russian realist writer, publicist, ethnographer and fiction writer Pavel Ivanovich Melnikov-Pechorsky translated the text “Kitezh Chronicler”:
“And even lower, beyond the Kama, the steppes spread out, the people there are different: although they are Russian, they are not the same as in the Verkhovye. There is a new settlement there, and in the Trans-Volga Upper Reservoir, Rus' has since ancient times settled in forests and swamps. Judging by the people’s dialect, the Novgorodians are ancient Rurik times settled there."
And although the Mongol-Tatars contributed to the disappearance of the city, and then even lived a little on the shores of the lake, it is possible that the descendants of those same conquerors still live in those parts...
Great Mother Rus'! Many peoples have mixed over the centuries; there was a time when the answer to the question “nationality” was “Soviet”. Now people are beginning to restore their roots, resurrect traditions, and this is exactly what ethnographers are doing.
At home, after reading the blog post GEOGRAPHIC "Great ETHNOGRAPHIC dictation: how it was, or There are many peoples - one country!" and comments on it, I was very upset that many were unable to take the test online due to a network failure. Naturally, I couldn’t resist and tried to register and take the test again, especially since the questions were different. I got it right the first time. There are, of course, repeating questions, but the answer options are different. And, since I DO NOT know whether I answered the questions in the audience correctly, I think taking the dictation again is correct. And here is my result.
It’s worth saying one more thing. that the questions of the Great Ethnographic Dictation were provided by the organizer of the action - the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs and include 20 federal and 10 regional.

The head of the FADN of Russia, Igor Barinov, summed up the results of the Great Ethnographic Dictation. This year it was written by 367 thousand residents of Russia and 14 other countries. This is 4 times more than in 2016.
For writing dictations, 2,600 sites were opened throughout the country and abroad, and last year there were only about 800. At these sites, 167 thousand people tested their knowledge about the traditions, culture, and history of the peoples of Russia - 5 times more compared to last year. Thanks to the support of TASS news agency, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper and the government of Udmurtia, more than 200 thousand participants wrote online dictations in organizing electronic platforms.
As Igor Barinov said, the most sites and dictation participants were in Moscow (18 thousand people) and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (10 thousand people). For example, in Yakutia, at the cold pole in the Oymyakonsky ulus, 3 sites were organized. The dictation took place at almost -45 degrees.
This year, the regions not only increased the number of venues and the number of participants, but also took an original approach to choosing the location for the dictation. It was written on the icebreaker "Vladivostok" in Murmansk, in the ancient Naryn-Kala fortress in Derbent, on the hundred-meter Tower of Concord in Magas, in the Kuban Cossack Corps in Krasnodar.
In addition, this year, for the first time, our compatriots in the CIS countries wrote a dictation, and Rossotrudnichestvo provided support in this. Kyrgyzstan showed the greatest interest in the event, where 23% of the total number of participants in the CIS countries wrote the dictation. The second largest number of participants was Tajikistan, the third was Moldova.
“For our compatriots, strengthening ties with Russia and spiritual and cultural support from us are of particular importance now. History and traditions should not be forgotten,” noted Igor Barinov.
The average score in Russia for dictation was 17.4 (out of 30 possible) and this is 4% better than last year. In the CIS countries the average score is slightly lower - 16.5. “This is due to the fact that at the sites of the near abroad there was a larger proportion of young people among the participants, and their knowledge, unfortunately, is worse than the knowledge of the older generation. But this is why we are holding an action to fill these gaps, and I am sure that we will definitely succeed,” added Igor Barinov.
As last year, representatives of the fair half of humanity turned out to be more active - about 70% of the participants were women.
When writing the dictation, each participant indicated his age. As a result, the share of young people (under 25 years old) was 60% in Russia and 80% in the CIS countries.
“The great ethnographic dictation allows people to feel attention and respect for themselves, the care of society and the state for preserving the diversity of national cultures and traditions, and emphasizes the spiritual wealth of Russia, which every citizen can rightfully be proud of. But the most important task is, of course, to educate our citizens, inform them about the colossal ethnocultural diversity that our country has,” the head of the FADN of Russia explained the growing popularity of the action.
Minister for the Development of Civil Society Institutions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Anatoly Bravin drew attention to the surge of interest in the history and culture of the peoples of Russia after the completion of the dictation: “Providers reported that after the completion of the dictation the number of search queries on the Internet related to the peoples increased sharply Russia. The number of visitors to libraries has also increased. This indicates that after the dictation people had a desire to learn more about those who live nearby.”
At a press conference at TASS, he presented diplomas to the distinguished sites. The most valiant platform was the icebreaker "Vladivostok" (by the way, the crew scored an average of 23.4 points on the dictation), the most daring was the Kuban Cossack Corps named after Babych in Krasnodar, the most ancient was the Naryn-Kala fortress in Derbent (Republic of Dagestan), the most massive The platform was the Sima-land company from Yekaterinburg, where dictation was simultaneously written by 3 thousand employees, and the most “star” in terms of the number of famous people was the Pashkov House.
The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was awarded as the most responsive and selfless region, Moscow as the most active region, the Udmurt Republic received the award as the most reliable partner, and the Republic of Ingushetia became the most enlightened region. In addition, a unique platform for the visually impaired was organized in Ingushetia: dictation questions were written in Braille.
The capital was also especially noted for the fact that the dictation was written here by the youngest participant - a 7-year-old first-grader from one of the Moscow schools (last year the youngest was a 12-year-old resident of the Ulyanovsk region).
The award was received by the singer, winner of the “Winner” show, Ragda Khanieva. Her photo from the Great Ethnographic Dictation received the most likes and won the competition that took place on Instagram.
