Intellectual online game for Russian-speaking children gathered participants from Italy and Spain. The game was hosted by organizations from Italy: the  Borodin Russian Center and the Harmony Cultural Association. The participants demonstrated their knowledge of Russian literary classics, traditions, folklore and Russian history.

The author and host of the quiz was Olga Zolotareva, a Russian teacher from Italy, vice-president of the Petrushka Development Center. The top three teams included schoolchildren from Russian schools and cultural centers of Italian Trento, Barcelona and Milan. The winners received a cup, all participants were awarded with diplomas.

Answering questions from various fields of knowledge, the participants demonstrated excellent knowledge of Russian literature. For example, the participants learned the works of Pushkin, Gogol, Krylov, Yesenin and other classics. Also, schoolchildren living outside of Russia have proven that they are well versed in the events of the history of Russia, Russian traditions and fairy tales.

The guys guessed encrypted children's songs about winter and works of great Russian composers. Children living in southern countries were not puzzled by questions about the Russian winter.
