Russia's first standardized state exams for entrance to university and college were on the verge of failure on Monday, after the appearance of the test answers online threatened to derail the process.

VLADIVOSTOK, May 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's first standardized state exams for entrance to university and college were on the verge of failure on Monday, after the appearance of the test answers online threatened to derail the process.

The reported answers to Russian language exams were posted online ahead of the first day of the tests, which kicked off in Russia’s vast Far East region.

“If it is confirmed that these really are the answers, then it is usually possible to establish the identity of the wrong-doer, after which the [state examinations] commission will take a decision,” said Yekatarina Shcheglenko, an education official in Russia’s Far East.

That could mean the “annulment” of the exam results, she said.

Russian Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedev later clarified that there were grounds to annul the exam results of those people who had uploaded the answers.
