  This paper presents the results of the Russian News Clustering and Headline
Selection shared task. As a part of it, we propose the tasks of Russian news
event detection, headline selection, and headline generation. These tasks are
accompanied by datasets and baselines. The presented datasets for event
detection and headline selection are the first public Russian datasets for
their tasks. The headline generation dataset is based on clustering and
provides multiple reference headlines for every cluster, unlike the previous
datasets. Finally, the approaches proposed by the shared task participants are
reported and analyzed.
