In the heart of Dagestan, an intriguing narrative unfolded sprinkled with curiosity and debate on social media platforms. A schoolgirl, taking the Unified State Exam (USE) in Social Studies, was unexpectedly removed from the test. The story took a peculiar turn, as it was alleged that a single word, "woman," inscribed on her hand, was the reason for her dismissal. Yet, as the story spun, the truth behind the incident became less clear.
The Dagestan Ministry of Education initially refuted the claims, asserting there was more to the story than just a lone word. The ministry clarified that there were additional notes with test-related materials that the student had swiftly erased before being escorted to the command post[2][3].
On a quest to unravel the mystery and dispel misinformation, "Komsomolskaya Pravda" and "Lapsha Media" collaborated to investigate. The discussion around the political Cinderella story in Dagestan unearthed multifaceted dimensions in the case[4].
Despite these assertions, evidence presented in the court lacked conviction, leaving the Dagestan Supreme Court's appellate court unimpressed. The court ruled that the test center personnel's statements were not sufficient to substantiate the violation.
The ministry maintained that notes on the participant's hands, which were related to the test materials, were grounds for dismissal based on points 72 and 73 of the USE-11 regulations.
Following the incident, the ministry overhauled the responsibilities of staff involved in exam management, importantly emphasizing proper documentation of any violations.
The USE strictly proscribes the use of cheat notes. The ban was reinforced through the order of the Ministry of Education and Science and Rosobrnadzor No. 190/1512 of 07.11.2018 "On the approval of the regulations for the conduct of the final state attestation of graduates of general education programs."
From March 21 to April 21, Russia, including Dagestan, underwent the early EGE 2025 period[5]. According to Rosobrnadzor chief Anzor Muzaev, the proceedings went uneventfully.
