RUSSIAN HISTORY Olympiad for Foreign Citizens 2025
Give them the surprise of all life – win this WORLD WAR II HISTORY Olympiad
About us
Russia is launching the RUSSIAN HISTORY Olympiad for Foreign Citizens this year, which is a huge brain-game event to bring together people from various countries, who are in love with Russia’s Language, History and Culture.
The Olympiad is to celebrate the crucial role that the USSR played in defeating fascism during World War II. The participants joining the event will have a chance to explore the military strategies employed by the Soviet Union, including the major military operations and tactics, as well as to analyze the USSR’s diplomatic incentives matching these vs the ones pursued by the Allies.
From October 6, 2025 until November 26, 2025, over 1,000 participants will be discussing the most important events pertaining to the said period. The rounds have been designed in various formats – quizzes, history quests, etc.
Just join this unique contest, put your knowledge to a test, improve your Russian and just show what you are up to – all this while enjoying this tough yet friendly battle of brains!
