The publication of genuine versions of the Unified State Examination on the Internet, in addition to the obvious harm, performed a non-obvious and unexpectedly positive function.
If previously, preferences for the Unified State Exam were given to children who studied with people who had “clearance”, children of bosses, etc., that is, those who absolutely had to be helped during the Unified State Exam and who, out of the kindness of their hearts and for a considerable bribe, were leaked options for personal use - then now everyone turned out to be “admitted”. And for not very much money (a thousand or two) - and only if you need a “key” for two days, and if for a day, then it’s completely free. That is, the injection of options served as the very social elevator that is talked about so much. And he also knocks the ground out from corrupt officials and tutors. Because if you don’t have to pay a lot, regularly and all year long, if you don’t need to buy a service at a high price, because it’s cheap and for everyone, then they won’t pay or buy it. This is democracy and equality of opportunity in practice. And - die, corrupt officials! And bite it, bite it, thieves kids!
You say - complete absurdity? Has everything been turned upside down? And I’ll say - maybe in our beautiful absurd state and with our unlovable absurdity in the people’s heads there is only absurdity and we need to tease everyone. And the more absurd your absurdity, the better. Tu l'as voulu, Georges Dandin. So get what you want.
