All-Russia Olympiad in the Russian language for schoolchildren in 2025: Final stage results

Abstract

The paper analyses the final stage assignments of the 30th national Olympiad in the Russian language for school students in the 2024–2025 academic year. We describe the structure of the competition stages as well as the types of tasks. The content of some assignments is examined in detail. The study shows that the Olympiad tasks assess the level of linguistic, communicative, and cultural competences formed in schoolchildren. In addition, the assignments assess students’ ability to analyse linguistic material, critically evaluate it, and come to their own conclusions on this basis. The paper concludes that the Olympiad tasks were fulfilled with a high level of success. Moreover, many participants showed readiness for conducting research at higher educational institutions.
