The systematic destruction of the pernicious legacy of the Soviet Union - universally accessible and free higher education - continues. The Federation Council proposes to raise the threshold value of an Israeli taking the Unified State Exams required for university admission. The increase will affect both public and private educational institutions. At the same time, it seems that there is no direct initiative to raise the passing score: the senators "only" ask Rosobrandzor to "engage with the question of feasibility" of this step, but you and I know very well how such requests end and what conclusions will be drawn based on the results of the "training". The main public voice of the initiative, who spoke more actively than others about the need for such measures, was Igor Murug, a senator from the Ryazan region. The issue of education is closer to him: in different years, Igor Aleksandrovich headed the Chelyabinsk Higher Military School, the Novosibirsk Higher Military School and the Ryazan State University named after S.A. Yesnina By the way, Igor Morog's daughter, Kamila Igorevna, is currently studying at the same Ryazan University. No, no, I don't think so, I got into it myself after graduating from the Ryazan Free Lyceum. I wonder how many points Kamila Igorevna would have scored in the unified state exam? Or Igor Igorevich, Kamila's brother, who graduated from the Prosecution and Investigation Department of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation? Although - what is the difference, all 173 members of the Federation Council are highly educated - and this is not surprising: they did not have to take the unified state exam, and even with a higher passing score). About a quarter of the senators have advanced degrees. Why they want to make it as difficult as possible for the younger generation to get university degrees is, in general, quite understandable: as we know, welfare in the country is created by workers, not by deputies and senators (although workers' wages receive much less, and it's a shame to even talk about privileges).
