Ethnographic dictation: which questions turned out to be the most difficult for Kazan residents

How well do you know the culture of your native country? What about the region? This knowledge could be tested by writing a Great Ethnographic Dictation. This year, residents of 85 regions of Russia and 11 neighboring countries are taking it out. We asked why people are ready to sit at a desk on a working day and answer questions about the peoples of the country

This year you could test your ethnographic literacy in Kazan at two sites: at the House of Friendship of Peoples of the Republic of Tatarstan and at the Kazan Federal University. In the regions of the republic, 20 sites were organized for those wishing to join the cultural and educational event.

Upon entering the dictation, everyone was given identification numbers by which you can find out your results. At 10 a.m., volunteers handed out question papers. It doesn’t look much like a dictation, but rather like the Unified State Exam, only without the ringing frames, controllers and selected phones. But the organizers still did not recommend using “cheat sheets” and googling answers on the Internet, because dictation is a test of knowledge, otherwise what’s the point?

Perhaps because the event took place on a working day, there were few people willing to write a dictation. The venue of the House of Peoples' Friendship was only half full.

“We came to write an ordinary dictation on knowledge of the Russian language, we came and discovered that we were writing an ethnographic test,” he says before the dictation Fania Gabitova. “Now we are forced to collect all our knowledge, concentrate and remember everything we know about the peoples of our country. But we always hope for good results. There will probably be questions about traditions, the ethnic group of the people, perhaps about linguistic culture, dances, cuisine, we are ready for them.

The protest participant was not mistaken in her assumptions. The dictation consisted of 30 test questions. 20 questions are the same for all of Russia and neighboring countries, and 10 are compiled taking into account regional specifics. In Tatarstan, these were questions about Tatar culture, history, customs and prominent people. For example, the question about the Tatar poet, hero of the USSR, born in the Orenburg region. Last year, all issues were federal issues.

Participants in the dictation could be residents of Russia and foreign countries who speak Russian, regardless of education, social class, religion and citizenship. The main thing is to be over 15 years old.

Number

30 is the maximum amount of points that can be scored for correctly completing all tasks this year (one point for each correct answer).

45 minutes are given to write the Great Ethnographic Dictation.

No ratings are given - you can know history and geography very well, but have no idea why Tatar women need a raisin bib or what the name of the Kryashen holiday, celebrated on the day of remembrance of the apostles Peter and Paul, is.

The texts of the questions contained useful information and history about other similar peoples. For example, in the question about women craftsmen, you can find out that the first woman in Dagestan to process metal jewelry was Manaba Magomedova, and the first woman engraver in Chukotka was Vera Emkul. But the trade in which Maria Sycheva became famous had to be named herself.

Retired English teacher Aliya Nurgalieva says that she came to the dictation out of curiosity:

Dictation of medium difficulty. The most difficult questions were about the diversity of peoples, their customs and traditions... Dagestanis, Udmurts, Karelians. This dictation makes it possible to understand that we live in a large multinational state and should live in peace and harmony. I think I will have average results, closer to 30. The test is still quite difficult for schoolchildren, if only for the 11th grade, and even then for advanced students who are well versed in geography and history,” she says.

For those who were unable to test their knowledge at regional sites, online testing has been organized on the website of the Great Ethnographic Dictation miretno.ru, which can be taken on November 3 from 10.00 to November 5 until 23.59.

By the way, an hour after the start, 3,425 people wrote the online test.

The all-Russian results of the action will be summed up on the Constitution Day of the Russian Federation on December 12. Residents of Tatarstan will be able to find out their results on November 8 on the website of the House of Friendship of Peoples of the Republic of Tatarstan.

By the way

The “Great Ethnographic Dictation” campaign was launched for the first time in 2016. Almost 90 thousand people wrote the dictation: 35 thousand in person and more than 50 thousand online.

The youngest participant in the dictation was a 12-year-old girl from the Ulyanovsk region, the oldest was an 80-year-old man from Mordovia. The average score for dictation in the country was 54 points out of 100 possible. Tatarstan showed the best result in Russia - the highest average score was 81.3.
