Educational, cultural, and scientific institutions annually host the dictation. This year, for the first time, the Atlantic Branch of the Russian State Research Center "All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography" (VNIRO) hosted those wishing to test their knowledge of Russian geography and history.
This year's dictation focused primarily on the 180th anniversary of the Russian Geographical Society, the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, and the 500th anniversary of the exploration of the Northern Sea Route. Crew members of the VNIRO research vessel STM K-1704 "Atlantis," which conducts expeditionary resource research off the coast of Northwest Africa in the Atlantic fishing zone of the Kingdom of Morocco, also participated in the dictation for the first time. These studies are part of the Great African Expedition, which spans the period from 2024 to 2026.
A total of 30 institute employees participated in the dictation. We hope that this event will become a tradition in the coming years at VNIRO and on its research vessels!
