The Geographical Dictation will take place in Russia and abroad on October 27,2019. Everyone can not only take part in the Dictation, but also organize an action venue in their region. Less than a week is left until the registration of the venues on the site dictant.rgo.ru - the acceptance of applications will last until October 10 inclusive.

We would like to note that now the number of venues for the action has exceeded 3,000. The Russian Center for Science and Culture in Jakarta (Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in Indonesia), has become a three-thousandth venue.

Currently, the leader in the number of Dictation venues is the Republic of Bashkortostan (404 venues), in the second place is the Stavropol Territory (155 venues), and the third is the Krasnodar Territory (115 venues).

The Geographical Dictation will take place not only in Russia. For today, Great Britain, Greece, Serbia, Austria, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Cambodia, Japan, Australia and other countries have joined the action.
