1Russia: Blogger Reveals Corruption at Moscow Journalism FacultyRosia: Mitantara Ny Kolikoly Ao Amin'ny Sampam-Pampianarana Ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety Ao Mosko Ireo Mpitoraka Bilaogy
2This is the story of how one blogger was able to overcome corruption in the Department of Journalism at Moscow State University (MGU).Tantarana mpitoraka bilaogy iray izay nahavita namaky bantsilana ny kolikoly ao amin'ny sampam-pampianarana ny asa fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny anjerimanontolom-panjakana ao Mosko (MGU) izy ity.
3It seems unbelievable and impossible even, that this issue revolves around the entrance exams for the most powerful and prestigious university in Russia, despite the fact that this is perhaps the most corruption-prone element of the higher education system in the country.Toa tsy mampino sy tsy hisy mihitsy izany, manodidina ny fanadinana fidirana ho ao amin'ilay anjerimanontolo tena matanjaka sy malaza ho tsara indrindra ao Rosia izy ity, na dia hoe mety ho izany ihany koa aza angamba no singa tena itrangan'ny kolikoly indrindra eo amin'ny rafitry ny fampianarana ambony ao amin'ny firenena.
4Entrance interview mysteryNy misterin'ny adina am-bava
5On June 21, 2011, popular blogger Vladimir Varfolomeev posted an update [ru] in which he discussed the entrance exams for people trying to get into the Department of Journalism at MGU.Tamin'ny 21 Jona 2011, nanao fanavaozan-dahatsoratra [ru] ny mpitoraka bilaogy malaza Vladimir Varfolomeev ka ao anatin'izany no iresahany ny fanadinana fidirana ho an'ireo olona izay miezaka ny ho tafiditra ao amin'ny sampam-pampianarana ny asa fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny MGU.
6Varfolomeev is not a state lecturer at MGU.Tsy mpampianatra mpiasam-panjakana ao amin'ny MGU i Varfolomeev.
7He is the news editor at radio station Ekho Moskvy, but the Faculty of Journalism makes a point of inviting independent journalists to the commission that leads the entrance exam interviews.Mpamoaka vaovao vao haingana no niasa ao amina trano fampielezam-peo Ekho Moskvy izy, fa nanao fihaonana ho fanasàna mpanao gazety tsy miankina hanatrika ny fivoriana izay mitondra ho any amin'ny fanadinana adina am-bava hidirana ao amin'ny sampam-pampianarana ny asa fanaovan-gazety ry zareo ao amin'ny Fakiolten'ny Asa Fanaovana gazety.
8Had it not been for the fact that Varfolomeev is a journalist and popular blogger, this whole story might not have happened and justice would not have been served.Ka nahitàna ny tranga hoe raha tsy sady mpanao gazety i Varfolomeev no mpitoraka bilaogy malaza dia mety tsy ho nitranga ity tantara rehetra ity ary mety tsy niseho ny rariny.
9The Department of Journalism at MGU.Ny sampam-pampianarana ny asa fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny MGU.

11When Varfolomeev first wrote about this issue in his blog, he simply expressed his doubt and incomprehension of the following situation: Why had one applicant, whom he had interviewed and who had received 30 points from the commission, suddenly slipped down to 12 points?Raha nanoratra voalohany ity olana ity teo amin'ny bilaoginy i Varfolomeev , dia nilaza tsotra fotsiny ny ahiahiny sy ny tsy fahazoana ny toe-javatra manaraka toy izao izy: Fa naninona ny mpiadina iray, izay nadininy am-bava ary nahazo isa 30 avy amin'ny mpitsara, no nilatsaka tampoka ho 12 ny isa azony?
12The Dean of the Department of Journalism, Yelena Vartanova, reacted [ru] to the entry almost immediately.Naneho hevitra [ru] azo lazaina ho avy hatrany momba ilay fampidirana lahatsoratra ny Zokiolona ao amin'ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety, Yelena Vartanova.
13She said that there existed a certain “institute of review of higher and lower marks”, a process which was in keeping with orders from the Ministry of Education (they were referred to as No. 442 and No. 285) and had existed in the Department of Journalism “for 30 years”.Milaza izy fa efa nisy ny “rafitra fijerena indray ny isa ambony sy ambany”, dingana izay mifanaraka amin'ny fepetra napetraky ny Ministeran'ny Fampianarana (ny No. 442 sy No. 285 no tondroin-dry zareo eto) ary efa nisy tao amin'ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety “ nandritra ny 30 taona”
14That is to say, that if at an entrance interview for the Department of Journalism at MGU you get a markedly higher or lower mark, your mark will be reviewed.Ny tiana ho lazaina dia hoe, rehefa mahazo naoty voamarika ambony na ambany ianao amin'ny adina am-bava ho an'ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny MGU, dia mety mbola hhaverina hojerena indray io naotinao io.
15It is not known who reviews them.Tsy fantatra hoe iza indray no mijery azy ireo.
16While the members of the examination commission are known, the composition of the extra “reviewers” is kept secret.Raha fantatra hoe iza avy ireo mpanadina ao amin'ny komity, dia tànana ho tsiambaratelo kosa ireo mandrafitra ny “mpijery indray ny naoty”.
17No one knows when and where this is carried out and the applicant learns their final grade only when it is posted on the bulletin board of the department.Tsy misy mahay hoe oviana ary aiza izany no atao, ary rehefa haseho ny eo amin'ny peta-drindrin'ny sampam-pampianarana ny valim-panadinana vao fantatry ny mpiadina ny naotiny farany.
18On the very same day that Varfolomeev's first post appeared, June 21, 2011, an entry [ru] appeared on the Facebook page of a journalist from Slon.ru, Natalya Falkon, who had herself graduated herself from MGU's Departmentof Journalism.Tamin'io andro io ihany izay nisehoan'ny lahatsoratr'i Varfolomeev voalohany, 21 Jona 2011, nisy fampidirana [ru] niseho tao amin'ny pejy Facebook-n'ny mpanao gazety iray avy amin'ny Slon.ru, i Natalya Falkon, izay nivoaka tao amin'ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny MGU.
19It detailed how her sister, Nastya, had tried to get into the department.Tantarainy amin'ny antsipiriany ao ny fomba niezahan'ny rahavaviny, Nastya, niditra tao amin'ilay sampam-pampianarana.
20In the entry entitled ‘Shame on the Department of Journalism', Natalya wrote:Ao amin'ilay lahatsoratra mitondra ny lohateny hoe ‘Henatra ho an'ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety', nanoratra toy izao i Natalya :
21Nastya said that the interview had gone perfectly, that she had answered the majority of questions and at the end the members of the commission leading the interview said “well she knows more than us!”Nilaza i Nastya fa tena nety tsara ny fanadinana am-bava, ary voavaliny daholo ny ankabeazan'ireo fanontaniana ary nilaza ireo mpikambana tao amin'ny komity nampanao ilay adina am-bava fa “tsara, fa mahay noho isika aza izy!”
22[…] Nastya was fortunate and later happened to meet one of the members of the commission who told her that she was excellent and had received 30 points […] Imagine her surprise when she saw next to her name the figure of 64 […] She had received 52 points for the written composition, which means that she had gotten 12 out of 30 points for the interview.[…] Tsara vintana i Nastya ary taty aoriana nifanena tamin'iray amin'ireo mpikambana tao amin'ny komity izay nilaza taminy fa tena nahay izy ary nahazo isa 30 […] Alaivo sary an-tsaina ny hatairany raha hitany teo akaikin'ny anarany ny isa 64 […] 52 ny isa azony tamin'ny fanadinana an-tsoratra, izay midika hoe 12 amin'ny 30 izany no azony tamin'ny adina am-bava.
23Nastya's situation is not unique: after a few days, Varfolomeev posted information [ru] on other applicants, identified only by their initials, showing that the points received by them after the interview - 30, 28 and 18 - had all turned into 2 points.Tsy tranga tokana ny nahazo an'i Nastya: andro vitsy taorian'izay, nampakatra vaovao [ru] mikasika ireo mpiadina hafa i Varfolomeev , fantatra amin'ny fiandohan'ny anarany fotsiny ihany, maneho fa ny isa azon'izy ireo tamin'ny adina am-bava - 30, 28 sy 18 - dia nivadika ho isa 2 daholo.
24Of course it's worth noting the problem of subjective grades.Mazava ho azy, tsara ny manamarika ny olan'ny fanomezana isa tsy miangatra.
25The fact is that an interview is not a formalised procedure and a lot depends on the emotional conditions of the lecturer and applicant.Ny zava-misy dia hoe tsy fombafomba fotsiny ny adina am-bava ary miankina betsaka amin'ny fepetra araky ny fihetseham-pon'ny mpanadina sy ny mpiadina.
26I say this as a university lecturer.Lazaiko izany amin'ny maha-mpampianatra aty amin'ny anjerimanontolo ahy.
27The aim of an interview is to show the depth of an applicant's insight, their motivations, interests and inclinations.Ny tanjon'ny adina am-bava dia ny hanehoana ny halalin'ny fifery avy any anatin'ny mpiadina any, ny manosika azy, ny mahaliana azy sy ny fironany.
28Understandably, mistakes can be made.Azo ekena ihany koa fa mety misy ny fahadisoana.
29FalloutNy tamberiny
30The editors at Ekho Moskvy supported their journalist and took up the topic.Nanohana ny mpanao gazetiny ireo mpamoaka lahatsoratra ao amin'ny Ekho Moskvy ary nandray ilay lohahevitra.
31First, they invited Yelena Vartanova on air [ru], where she again repeated that “in the department, there exists a practice of rechecking not only all higher, but also all lower grades.”Voalohany, nanasa an'i Yelena Vartanova an-tsehatra [ru] izy ireo, izay mbola namerenan'ity farany indray fa “ao amin'ilay Sampam-pampianarana dia misy ny fanao eo amin'ny fijerena indray ny naoty ary tsy ny avo ihany fa koa ny ambany.”
32However, Vartanova no longer referred to this “practice” as being written in orders from the Ministry of Education, as she did in her first commentary.Na izany aza, tsy nitanisa izany “fanao” izany ho voasoratra anaty baikon'ny Ministeran'ny Fampianarana i Vartanova, tahaka izay nolazainy tao amin'ny fanamarihany voalohany.
33The editors of Ekho Moskvy then decided to check [ru] these orders.Nanapa-kevitra noho izany ny mpanoratra Ekho Moskvy ny hanamarina [ru] ireto baiko ireto.
34The editors attentively read not only the orders, but also a mass of other documents, both the ‘Rules of Entry to MGU in 2011‘ [ru] and the rules of the creative competition [the Department of Journalism entrance exam] [ru] at MGU.Novakian'ny mpanoratra tsara araka izany ireo baiko, fa koa ireo antontan-taratasy maro hafa, na ny ‘Fitsipika amin'ny fidirana ao amin'ny MGU tamin'ny 2011‘ [ru] na ny fitsipika mifehy ny fifaninana famoronana [fanadinana fidirana ao amin'ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety ] [ru] ao amin'ny MGU.
35Nowhere could they find one reference to the rechecking of the results of an interview by any sort of expert commission.Tsy misy na aiza na aiza hahitan'izy ireo fanamarihana amin'ny fijerena indray ny isa azo tamin'ny adina am-bava nataon'ny komitin'ireo lalim-pahaizana, na iza izany na iza.
36As soon as this became known, the head editor at Ekho Moskvy, Aleksei Venediktov, even advised [ru] journalists of the radio station not to take part in entrance exams at the department until all its rules become transparent and known to both applicants and members of the commission.Vantany vao fantatra izany, dia nanoro hevitra [ru] na dia ireo mpanao gazety ao amin'ny trano fampielezam-peo aza, ny tonian'ny fanoratana ao amin'ny Ekho Moskvy, i Aleksei Venediktov, mba tsy handray anjara amin'ny adina hidirana ao amin'ny sampam-pampianarana raha mbola tsy mangarahara ny fitsipika ary fantatry ny mpiadina sy ny mpikambana ao amin'ny komity tsara.
37The situation thus created unpleasantness.Niteraka korontana araka izany ny toe-draharaha.
38It became obvious that there was no legal basis for the changing of points given by the commission at the interview.Nanjary nivandravandra fa tsy nisy fototra ara-dalana mihitsy ny nanovàna ny isa nomen'ny komity tamin'ny adina am-bava.
39It also became clear that some of the applicants were wronged and clearly could not get into the faculty as a result of this process, and the whole issue stank of corruption.Nanjary nazava ihany koa fa nodisoina ny sasany tamin'ireo mpiadina ka mazava be fa tsy ho afaka ny hiditra ao amin'ilay Sampam-pampianarana noho ny vokatr'ity dingana ity, ary mamofona kolikoly ity resaka iray manontolo ity.
40In general, everyone accepts this, but the case of MGU, which became well known thanks to Varfolomeev and his popular blog, had only one clear solution: justice needed to be restored, otherwise the heads of the department and MGU would look very bad.Amin'ny ankapobeny, manaiky izany daholo ny olon-drehetra, fa ny trangan'ny MGU kosa, izay nanjary fantatry ny rehetra noho ny nataon'i Varfolomeev sy ny bilaoginy malaza, dia nahitana vahaolana tokana mazava: mila averina apetraka tsara ny lalàna, raha tsy izany dia tena ho ratsy jery be ihany ny lehiben'ilay sampam-pampianarana sy ny MGU.
41The story ended relatively quickly, on the very same day when the Department of Journalism had to post the points received by candidates and, correspondingly, a list of who got in.Somary haingana be ihany no nifàran'ny tantara, tamin'iny andro iny ihany rehefa tsy maintsy namoaka ny isa azon'ireo kandida ny Sampam-pampianaran'ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety, ary miaraka amin'izay ny lisitr'ireo voaray.
42The Rector of MGU, Viktor Sadovnichy signed a ruling [ru] on behalf of the Central Acceptance Commission on the cancellation of altered points, made by the Department of Journalism after entrance interviews.Nanao sonia ny fitsipika [ru] manafoana ireo isa novàna nataon'ny Sampam-pampianaran'ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety taorian'ny adina am-bava ny Rektoran'ny MGU, Viktor Sadovnichy, teo ambany fiahian'ny Komity Foiben'ny Fandraisana mpianatra.
43A clean victory!Fandresena madio!
44A clean victory!Fandresena madio!
45It seems to me that everyone who gets into the department this year must remember the “heroic act” of Varfolomeev.Amiko dia mila mahatsiaro ny “asa mendrika” nataon'i Varfolomeev ireo rehetra tafiditra tao amin'ilay sampam-pampianarana tamin'ity taona ity.
46However, there is nothing heroic about this act. This is the usual practice of the Russian blogger: to write about injustice, uncover violations of rights, investigate incidents of corruption, defend those without rights and the weak, make noise, and demand answers from the authorities, civil servants and leaders.Na izany aza, tsy misy zavatra tena mampiavaka ity hetsika ity. Izany no fomba mahazatra efa fanaon'ny mpitoraka bilaogy Rosiana: manoratra mikasika ny tsy rariny, mamboraka ireo fanitsakitsahana ny zo, manadihady tranganà kolikoly, miaro ireo tsy verezin-jo sy ny osa, mitabataba, ary mangataka valinteny amin'ny manam-pahefana, ny mpiasam-panjakana sy ny mpitarika.
47As we know, this gets results and the example of Varfolomeev and the MGU Department of Journalism is confirmation of this.Araka ny fantatsika, mahazo valiny izany ka ny ohatra nomen' i Varfolomeev sy ny Sampam-pampianaran'ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny MGU no manamafy izany .
48By the way, the story didn't end there.Tsetsatsetsa tsy aritra, tsy mifarana eto ny tantara.
49On June 28, TV Channel 1 revealed more details connected to this story. This was remarkable in and of itself, but all the more so for another reason.Tamin'ny 28 Jona, naneho antsipirihany hafa mifandray amin'ity tantara ity ny TV Channel 1. Tena niavaka tokoa izy tamin'izany, saingy mbola noho ny antony maro hafa ihany koa anefa.
50In the discussion [ru], the President of the Department of Journalism, Yasen Zasursky, defended the honour of the department and hinted that this issue was not as simple as it seemed and that members of the commission also could be non-objective:Nandritra ny resadresaka [ru], niaro ny voninahitry ny Sampam-pampianarana ny Filohan'ilay Sampam-pampianaran'ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety, Yasen Zasursky, ary nanindry fa tsy mora araka ny fahitàna azy ity resaka ity ary mety koa tsy manan fijery tsy miangatra ny mpikambana ao amin'ny komity :
51Journalists are living people and they also have uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers, children and grandchildren.Olombelona ny mpanao gazety, ary manana dadatoa, nenitoa, dadabe, bebe, zanaka sy zafikely.
52We don't want our examiners, including our journalists, to manifest their own interests too strongly.Tsy tiantsika ny mpanadina antsika, isan'izany ny mpanao gazetintsika, haneho amin-kery be loatra ny heviny.
53The next day, on the commentary of the radio station Svoboda, Yasen Zasursky put it [ru] more bluntly:Ny andro taorian'izay, teo amin'ny tsikeran'ny trano fampielezam-peo Svoboda, dia nasian'i Yasen Zasursky[ru] tota-boka manta be fotsiny hoe:
54They [journalists] give high marks to everyone who comes to them, especially the children of their acquaintances […] We're compelled to bring in journalists to the work of the commission, who, not being professional lecturers, view this as a pleasant supplementary duty, supposing that they can help good people study with us.Omen'izy ireo [mpanao gazety] isa avo ireo tonga ao aminy, indrindra ireo zanaky ny olom-pantany […] Isika tsy maintsy mampiditra ny mpanao gazety ho ao amin'ny asan'ny komity, izay, tsy mpampianatra matihanina akory, mijery izany ho asa fanampiny tsy maintsy atao, mihevitra fa afaka manampy ny olona tsara hianatra hiaraka amintsika.
55They said directly to these children “we're giving you all high marks”.Niteny avy hatrany tamin'ireny ankizy ireny ry zareo hoe “nomenay isa ambony daholo ianareo”.
56But what can be done?Fa inona nefa no vita?
57We of course must give some thought to how and whom we bring in to the creative competition.Isika aloha mazava ho azy tsy maintsy handefa eritreritra amin'ny hoe ahoana, ary iza no hamnpidirintsika amin'ny fifaninana famoronana.
58Zasursky's commentary has given rise to active discussion [ru] on Varfolomeev's blog:Niteraka ady hevitra mafana [ru] teo amin'ny bilaogin'i Varfolomeev ny tsikeran'i Zasursky :
59Oleg Kozlovksy - Vladimir, perhaps you're hiding from us that your aunt is trying to get into the Faculty of Journalism?!'Oleg Kozlovksy - Vladimir, mety hoe miafina anay ianareo fa mety te hiditra ao amin'ny Fakiolten'ny Asa Fanaovan-gazety ny nenitoanareo?!'
60Vladimir Varfolomeev - It's a lot more serious than that, despite all dissuasions, my grandfather has decided to apply.Vladimir Varfolomeev - mbola matotra kokoa noho izany izy ity, na dia eo aza ny fanakanana rehetra, dia tapa-kevitra ny hirotsaka ihany koa ny dadabeko.
61Who do you believe more: Varfolomeev or Zasursky?Iza no inoanao kokoa: Varfolomeev sa Zasursky?
