RUDN, St. Petersburg State University, Pskov State University and the Pushkin State Institute of Russian Language were also among the universities that received warnings. On April 8, the Investigative Committee (IC) of the Russian Federation reported thatillegal issuance of certificates of Russian language proficiencywas organized there.
On April 18, the head of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Valery Falkov said that from May 1, commercial organizations would not be able to participate in the organization of the Russian language exam for migrants. In addition, in the future, each region of the Russian Federation will have a university responsible for conducting this test. The Minister also instructed to strengthen control over the procedure for organizing the exam and issuing the certificate.
On September 19, First Deputy Interior Minister of Russia Alexander Gorovoy pointed out the need to strengthen control over examinations for migrants to suppress cases with the provision of fake certificates. He emphasized that these measures are illegitimate, but law enforcers are often approached with fake documents by people who cannot even communicate in the language.
