[Кирилл Сызранский]

But seriously, here:

The war around the school program for literature is not the first year. In the latest draft of the educational standard for many teachers suddenly disappeared, many works, is prohibited in the USSR, and took their place familiar to many generations Fadeev, Serafimovich and Sholokhov. However, recent negotiations with the Ministry of Education teachers can hope for elimination of bias in favor of Soviet literature, said the head of the Institute of Education Eugene Saburov in an interview with Ekho Moskvy.

However, as noted Saburov, be sure it is not: during the four months the teacher, which the Council for Development of Education was asked to evaluate the draft standard, met with ministry officials, every time something agreed upon, and every once in a week or two everything was in their places », v explained Saburov. Judge thanked a number of writers and public figures who have criticized the emerging standards. Of course the 20 th century literature excluded, for example, "the camp theme. As noted Saburov, the standard should not be overloaded, otherwise limited to freedom of teachers in the study of the subject. That's why he did not see anything wrong with that of the standard deleted Sholokhov's novel And Quiet Flows the Don ".
