The first stage of the Information Security Games was held on March 29 and 30. Student teams from various universities of Rostov-on-Don took part in it. Participants were offered case studies on detecting fakes on the web. At this stage, the leaders of the competition were determined: three prize-winning teams and individual students, noted by experts. A new team was formed from these students.

The team, which included Ruslan Zharkikh, a 2nd year student at the Institute of History and International Relations of the Southern Federal University, received the theme "Day of inventing good signs."

"All Friday we have been developing content for various social networks. Each team member contacted a certain community on social networks, the leader of public opinion, so that they would post a text with our information guide. I believe that this experience is useful for both political scientists, journalists and regional scientists, as well as historians. This is especially relevant due to the ongoing trend of combating the falsification of history on the Internet and in the field of education," Ruslan Zharkikh shared.

In the final part of the event, Ekaterina Mizulina, the head of the Safe Internet League, greeted the participants through a video message.
