The first stage for all participants was held online, students received links to test materials, where tasks were offered to test their general knowledge of the Russian language. Also, the participants created a video in which they talked about why Victory Day is one of the most important holidays. The organizing committee of the Olympiad received 183 videos in which students talked about the need and importance of preserving the memory of important events for the country and each person.
