International Russian Language Olympiad for schoolchildren from foreign countries

International Olympiad in Russian Language has been held since 1972 in two competitive areas. The first direction is intended for high school students of foreign schools studying Russian as a foreign language. The second is for high school students of foreign schools with Russian as the language of instruction. Until 2016, the Olympics were held every four years, and after that they became annual. During the Olympiad, more than 3,000 foreign schoolchildren took part in the finals.

The Olympiad takes place in several stages: the qualifying stage and semi-finals are held remotely on the Education in Russian portal, and the in-person finals are held in Moscow. Schoolchildren complete exam assignments in the Russian language orally and in writing, defend projects on regional studies, and participate in the “Young Orator” creative competition.
As a result of the final tests, 10 absolute winners of the Olympics and prize-winners in additional categories are determined. The absolute winners receive the right to study at Russian universities in philological/linguistic programs at the expense of the budget of the Russian Federation.

Large universal dictionary of the Russian language

"Large Universal Dictionary of the Russian Language"- the result of 25 years of work by the team of authors of the State Institute of Russian Language named after. A. S. Pushkin under the guidance of Doctor of Philological Sciences Valery Morkovkin. The dictionary presents in alphabetical order the most common words that make up the lexical core of the Russian language (about 30,000 words). The idea of ​​​​creating a dictionary was expressed by Valery Morkovkin in 1973 in the report “On the universal educational dictionary of the Russian language,” but work on the current dictionary began in the late 1980s, and Valery Morkovkin, Galina Bogacheva and Natalia Lutskaya took part in its creation. According to the authors, changes were repeatedly made to the dictionary: some words, such as “police”, “pager”, were relegated to the periphery, while others, on the contrary, had to be included. In the dictionary you can find terms such as “flash drive”, “hacker” and “freebie”.

The words are arranged in alphabetical order, each of them is given a meaning, and grammatical features are also indicated. The compilers of the publication deliberately focused not on the number of words, but on giving the most complete description of the selected units. The dictionary reflects the changes that have occurred in the language in recent times, gives the correct accents, offers homonyms, synonyms and antonyms.

Rector of the Pushkin Institute Margarita Rusetskaya noted that the institute, whose mission for 50 years of work has been to disseminate and preserve the Russian language, and the task of university specialists is to work on dictionaries, has published more than one dictionary in collaboration with the publishing house “Dictionaries of the XXI Century”. “One of the most striking examples of this cooperation was the linguistic and cultural dictionary “Russia,” which underwent four reprints and was released in the form of a multimedia online resource in 2015,” said Margarita Rusetskaya. The very direction of “linguocultural studies” was invented in the USSR and was first mentioned in the book “Linguistic problems of regional studies in teaching the Russian language to foreigners” (Moscow, 1971). The founder of this direction is academician Vitaly Kostomarov, founder and first rector of the Pushkin Institute.
