All-Russian School Biology Olympiad

The All-Russian Biological Olympiad of schoolchildren is aimed at identifying and developing creative abilities and interest in scientific activity among students of general educational institutions, creating the necessary conditions to support gifted children, promoting scientific knowledge, creating the conditions for realizing the opportunities of the best students and teachers, for fruitful, creative communication. The Olympiad is aimed not at competition, but at creative, fruitful communication, the acquisition of new knowledge, their consolidation, the fundamentalization of knowledge. Communication is a very important aspect of the Olympiad.

The first Olympiads were held in individual schools and cities. Since 1950, the Moscow Biological Olympiad began to organize the biological and soil faculty of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov . Its popularity outgrew the borders of Moscow , attracting participants from different regions of the USSR . The winners and prize winners of the Olympiad were such well-known biologists, as, for example, P.P. Vtorov , A.S. Kondrashov , E.V. Kunin and others.

The first All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren in biology, according to the order of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR, was held in 1979 in Barnaul . Among the organizers of this Olympiad was the famous methodologist-biologist D.I. Treitak. The first Olympiads were held once every 2 years. However, starting from the seventh Olympiad in 1991 they are held annually. In 1990, the first All-Union School Biology Olympiad was held in Batumi, the second such Olympiad was held in the spring of 1991 in Chelyabinsk. The third All-Union Olympiad was scheduled for the spring of 1992. It was supposed to be held in Dnepropetrovsk, but after the collapse of the USSR, the All-Union School Olympiads ceased to be organized. In 2009, the All-Russian School Biology Olympiad was held twenty-fifth time. ^[one]
