Moscow Polytechnic University conducted a history test for its students, which talks about the "denazification and demilitarization of Bandera Ukraine." This was reported to The Insider by the head of the Alliance of Teachers Daniel Ken.
In the question where Ukraine is called “Bandera”, students are asked in what year Russia launched a “special military operation”. In addition, the test contains questions about the fact that after World War II, the United States unleashed the most colonial wars and military conflicts. Students are asked to agree or disagree with this statement.
Another question concerns the "barbaric" NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1998. Students are asked to choose whether the statement that they were taken with the sanction of the UN Security Council is true. (It is worth emphasizing that there is a factual error in the question – the bombings took place a year later, in 1999.)
The Insider talked to a Polytechnic student who took this test. She said that it was mandatory for delivery, and the decree came from the rector:
“This test appeared on the platform of the Moscow Poly in the section “Control of the passed material”, where we pass some tests or complete assignments on the topics of the previous semester. We did not pass the newest time, but, despite this, there were questions in the test on this topic. It was obligatory to fulfill, and not just like that, but by order of the rector. We were also sent a spreadsheet in which we had to enter the results, although we usually do not report this way.
Our history teacher is famous for his wadded views, but he did not allow himself any nasty things and insults towards the Ukrainians. And on average, teachers do not speak out about the war. I think those who are against are afraid of denunciation. Well, the rest, probably, it is inconvenient to talk about it. I believe that this question is clearly not aimed at testing knowledge, but is colored politically and emotionally and is needed in order to strengthen the idea of “Bandera” Ukraine in the minds of students.”
