What (e.g., Mechanics, Electromagnetism) do you want to focus on first?

Russian (and post‑Soviet) physics olympiads are famous for:

Spend at least 45 to 60 minutes wrestling with a single problem before glancing at the hints. The cognitive struggle is where the actual learning happens.

Russia has a storied history in physics education, deeply rooted in the Soviet tradition of nurturing young scientific talent. The Russian National Olympiad in Physics consists of multiple stages, starting from school-level selections and culminating in the final All-Russian Olympiad.
