On July 8, Sergey Kravtsov, the head of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, informed Putin during a meeting with the government about the record result of a graduate from Moscow on the Unified State Exam for the entire 25-year history of the exam — 500 points. So, the girl took the Russian language, specialized mathematics, chemistry, physics and computer science for the Unified State Exam.

On June 29, the graduate shared with Izvestia details about her training, in which she focused on lessons and additional classes with teachers at school. According to the girl, after seeing the results, she considered what was happening a joke.
