Works of the Golden Age were not excluded from the Unified State Examination in Literature – Kommersant

The works of the Golden Age are not excluded from the Unified State Exam in Literature in 2024 and can be used in some tasks. This was reported to journalists in Rosobrnadzor, reports TASS. Previously on the FIPI website published demo version of the USE codifier in literature, which no longer contains the main works until the second half of the 19th century.

The Rosobrnadzor explained that the codifier reflects only those works that schoolchildren pass in the 11th grade. At the exam, as before, there may be assignments based on the works of Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Nikolai Gogol, Denis Fonvizin, Gavriil Derzhavin.

At the same time, the department noted that knowledge of the works of the first half of the 19th century, including Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol, will be tested as part of the OGE, which students take in the 9th grade. In the 11th grade, first of all, knowledge of the works of the “later period” is checked.

Meanwhile, according to the demo version of the codifier, foreign authors Umberto Eco and Thomas Stearns Eliot were added to the exam. The compilers of the exam believe that students, following the results of the exam, will have to demonstrate “the formation of Russian civic identity” and “readiness to serve and defend the Fatherland.”
