💬 “A wonderful gift to the mentors and the entire national education system by the beginning of the school year our guys presented – four gold medals!
This excellent result once again proves that we have created an effective system for identifying and supporting talents, and conditions have appeared all over the country for the development of children and the study of advanced technologies and scientific achievements,” he said.
Chemistry
The 55th International Chemistry Olympiad results were summarized in Zurich (Switzerland). Russian schoolchildren won three gold and one silver medal.
🏅 The gold medal winners were:
- Nikita Perov (Lyceum No. 131, Kazan, Tatarstan) – he was among the top three winners of the Olympiad;
-
Sergey Roslyakov (Comprehensive School of the Center for Pedagogical Mastery, Moscow);

Vadim Kharisov (Republican Engineering Boarding Lyceum, Ufa, Bashkortostan).
🥈The silver medal was awarded to Alexei Mikheev (Altayskoye secondary comprehensive school No. 2 named after I.Y. Yarkin, Honorary Citizen of the Altai Territory, Altayskoye village, Altai Territory). Altayskoye, Altai Territory).
💬 “Russian schoolchildren performed well at the Chemistry Olympiad in Zurich and added to the piggy bank of Russian medals at international intellectual competitions.
We see that in different regions of our large country there are talented teachers who were able to interest their students in chemistry, give them systematic knowledge and important practical skills. And their students, in turn, did their best to demonstrate a high level of knowledge.
I congratulate the guys, their coaches and mentors and wish them new successes and victories!” – Sergey Kravtsov, Minister of Education, addressed the participants of the Olympiad and their teachers.
Physics
Russia took all the gold at the Physics Olympiad in Tokyo.
The 53rd International Physics Olympiad for schoolchildren, in which teams from over 80 countries participated, ended in Tokyo, Russia, and set an absolute record by taking all the gold.
Schoolchildren from Russia participated in person. They became the best both in solving theoretical problems and in laboratory work.

Previous years
The Russian schoolchildren also won three “gold” and three “silver” at the 63rd International Mathematical Olympiad in Oslo in 2022. More than 600 students from 100 countries participated in it.
In 2021, Russian schoolchildren won eight gold medals at the Asian Physics Olympiad. The Olympiad was held in a distance format in Taiwan with the participation of more than 180 schoolchildren from 23 countries.
“Each of the eight members of the Russian team won a gold medal at the XXI Asian School Olympiad in Physics, thereby setting an absolute record for the competition!”

Results
The high educational standards in Russia explain why they have GLONASS, which is the Russian version of the GPS, and why Russia is the only country with a fleet of nuclear power icebreakers and hypersonic weapons like the Kinzhal, Avangard and Zircon that are unstoppable and generations ahead of any NATO country.
Russian hypersonic missiles differ from other countries because they have hypersonic engines and can maneuver. The Kinzhal can change directions while in flight, making it unpredictable.
The bottom line is that Russian education is one of the best in the world.
