ABSTRACT
A new minister was appointed to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and she has continued the erroneous practice of passing reforms that are divorced from the ethos and social values of law, which previous ministers had also become infamous for doing. The ministry was renamed as the Ministry of Enlightenment and began to speak more actively about pushing through reforms that seem to be very strangely worded and are in any case meaningless. Far from being reforms, they in fact threaten to accelerate the collapse of the education system in the country. However, so far they have amounted to a division of the old ministry into two agencies and the renaming of one of them the Ministry of Enlightenment. It reminds me of the infamous flop of the Yo-mobile Russian electric car, which was the brainchild of a Russian oligarch and never got off the ground. So I propose calling the undertakings of the Minister of Enlightenment “Yo-reforms.”
And we can only hope that these reforms go no further than the Yo-mobile, but it is nevertheless a pity that so much money has to be wasted on them in any case.
