Since 2015, the Russian Geographical Society, on the initiative of the Chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Society, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, has been annually holding the All-Russian Geographical Dictation. This is a large-scale educational campaign aimed at evaluation of the people’s level of geographical literacy.
In 2015, the Dictation was held in every region of our country, and in 2017, it reached the international scale: the campaign took place all throughout Russia and in 24 foreign countries.
In 2021, the campaign will be held for the seventh time on November 14. It will be possible to check your knowledge in person or remotely on dedicated sites, as well as online on the campaign website dictant.rgo.ru.
The main illustration features students during a geographical dictation, a map of the Earth's hemispheres, an armillary sphere, and the Vostok sloop; the commemorative stamp provides images that symbolically reflect geographic projects.
In addition to the issue of the postcard with a commemorative stamp, JSC Marka produced special cancels for Moscow and St. Petersburg.
