Participants in the Unified State Examination in History 2026 showed high results in chronology and SVO, but had difficulty with in-depth knowledge of the Great Patriotic War

Participants in the 2026 Unified State Exam successfully completed tasks on knowledge of chronology and historical facts, including facts of a special military operation.

Tasks to test knowledge of the facts of the Great Patriotic War were completed with high results, but tasks requiring deeper knowledge (for example, indicating the name of the front or front commander) caused difficulties.

The examinees made few mistakes when identifying participants in the SVO, but were much more likely to make mistakes when identifying participants in the Great Patriotic War.

MOSCOW, October 3 - RIA Novosti. Those who took the Unified State Exam in history in 2026 successfully completed tasks on knowledge of chronology and historical facts, including a special military operation, as follows from data from the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI), which is at the disposal of RIA Novosti.

“Participants in the 2026 Unified State Exam successfully completed tasks on knowledge of chronology and historical facts, including facts of a special military operation,” the document says.

It is emphasized that tasks aimed at testing knowledge of the facts of the Great Patriotic War were generally completed with high results. At the same time, FIPI notes that tasks that required demonstrating a deeper knowledge of facts (for example, indicating the name of the front or the front commander) caused difficulties for the exam participants.
