As Russia celebrates Russia Day on June 12, a quiz has been launched to test citizens’ knowledge of Russian history, state symbols, and interesting facts. The 12-question quiz aims to determine who is an expert on Russian culture and history and who simply enjoys the national holiday.

The quiz covers a range of topics, from historical battles to cultural figures. One question challenges participants to recall the year of the Battle of Kulikovo, a significant event in Russian history. Another asks which city in the Golden Ring is the oldest, testing knowledge of Russian geography and ancient cities.

The quiz also delves into more obscure trivia, such as the practice of testing the quality of gold coins “by tooth.” Participants are asked to identify the group of confidants surrounding Ivan the Terrible and the event that prompted the construction of St. Basil’s Cathedral.

Cultural knowledge is also tested, with questions about Kliment Ionovich Belyaev and the inspiration behind a world-famous dessert. The quiz also explores Russian symbols, asking about the number of crowns on the modern Russian coat of arms.

The quiz even includes a question about a miniature matryoshka doll, referencing the tale of Lefty, who famously shod a flea. Finally, participants are asked to identify a cat breed that originated in Russia.
