In the first hours of the "Science for Victory" dictation event, more than 229,000 high school and university students participated. The initiative, held across regional schools, colleges, and universities, aimed to engage young minds in reflecting on the role of science during the Great Patriotic War.
The dictation consisted of 25 questions, meticulously crafted by historians from the Center for the History of Russian Science and Technological Development at RSUH. Key venues included Moscow State University and the House of Scientists at the Kurchatov Institute.
The event was designed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, highlighting the scientific and technological breakthroughs achieved during that period. Organizers emphasized the importance of understanding how science contributed to the war effort and shaped the post-war world.
Beyond testing knowledge, the dictation sought to inspire a deeper appreciation for the intersection of science and history. It also aimed to foster a sense of national pride and awareness among younger generations about the sacrifices and achievements of their predecessors.
This large-scale educational initiative underscores the ongoing efforts to preserve historical memory and promote scientific literacy across the country.
