      On July 12 and 14, 2026, the finals of the Knowledge Tournament took place in Moscow. The game of the sports version of "What? Where? When?" is one of the largest intellectual projects of the Russian Society "Knowledge". The best teams that passed a multi-stage selection during the 2025-2026 gaming season met in the capital. The tournament is implemented within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children". The final games consisted of 10 rounds with 6 questions each, dedicated to the history and culture of Russia, the country's achievements, outstanding compatriots, and the traditions of the peoples of Russia. As a result of the competition, absolute winners of the Tournament were determined in categories among students, representatives of the working youth, as well as schoolchildren and college students, and 9 prizewinners in all categories. The awards were presented to them by State Duma Deputy of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Anatoly Vasserman, First Deputy Chair of the State Duma Committee for Family Protection, Issues of Fatherhood, Motherhood, and Childhood Tatiana Butskaya, General Director of the ANO "More than a Journey" Olesya Brykova, and three-time Olympic champion in synchronized swimming, head of the Russian Theater on Water, Deputy of the Moscow City Duma Maria Kiseleva. "The final is always a competition, but today there are no random people in this hall. Each of you has gone through serious selection, done a lot of intellectual work, and earned the right to fight for victory. That is why today you are already winners. I wish you fair competition, bright games, and enjoyment from each question, as it is such challenges that unite the strongest," noted Kirill Khvil, Deputy General Director of the Russian Society "Knowledge". The absolute winner of the Tournament among university students was the team "HSEster", representing the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the National Research University "Higher School of Economics". According to the participants, success was the result of regular preparation, cohesion, and years of joint work. The team notes that they meet every week for training, and over the years of participation, the players have become not just like-minded individuals but a real family. "Victory is never accidental - it is the result of constant training, cohesion, and trust in each other. We have long become not just a team but a real family, so we always believed in our potential. The final was very tense, especially when the fight began with strong opponents, and that is what made the game so bright and memorable. We are grateful to the organizers for the opportunity to be part of this tournament and are already looking forward to new intellectual competitions," shared the team members. The team "Order of Saint Kissel" from Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky took 4th place in the final game.
