“Medvedev, a longtime EGE proponent, admitted last year that the test was not perfect after his son Ilya took it — and, with 359 points out of 400, earned a ‘free’ slot at the prestigious Moscow State Institute of Foreign Relations.”

Well, Russia is the ultimate demoralized, degraded post-Soviet mess, and its higher education system is but a tiny part of all that.

Here at University Diaries, however, we’re particularly interested in that part. And we do well to remind ourselves that there are entire countries where university education is a bogus nepotistic cold hard cash joke. One Moscow college has apparently become “a fake thesis factory.”

As a columnist puts it in Novaya Gazeta:

“It is stupid to accuse kids of cheating on the [national standardized] EGE [test] in a nation where officials cheat on their doctoral theses.”
