In the 11th grade, it is not necessary to know by heart all the dates from the textbook. It is enough to master the mandatory minimum, which, believe me, will be useful not only in the exam, but also in life.

So, your preparation for the OGE and Unified State Examination in History must necessarily include memorizing several of the most important dates in Russian history. Stay up to date with the most important events in Russian history - and to make it easier to master them, you can, for example, write the entire minimum on cards and divide them by century. This simple step will allow you to begin to navigate history by period, and when you write everything on pieces of paper, you will unconsciously remember everything. Your parents and grandparents used a similar method when there was no trace of any Unified State Examination or State Examination.

We can also advise you to say the most important dates in the history of Russia out loud and record it on a voice recorder. Listen to the resulting recordings several times a day, and best of all, in the morning, when the brain has just woken up and has not yet absorbed the usual daily dose of information.

But under no circumstances do we recommend that you try to memorize everything at once. Have pity on yourself, no one has ever managed to master the entire school curriculum on Russian history in a day. The Unified State Examination and the State Examination Test are designed to test how well you know the full course of the subject. So don’t even think about somehow deceiving the system or hoping for the students’ favorite “night before the exam,” as well as various cheat sheets and “answers to the State Examination and Unified State Examination in History 2015,” of which there are so many on the Internet.

The history of the Russian state goes back more than 12 centuries. Over the course of centuries, events took place that became turning points on the scale of a huge country. Top 10 important dates in Russian history collected in our top ten today.

Of course, such a list cannot be called exhaustive - in the richest Russian history there are more than one hundred significant days. However, we suggest starting small and turning to the current top ten.

September 8, 1380 - Battle of Kulikovo (Battle of the Don or Mamayevo)

This battle between the army of Dmitry Donskoy and the army of Mamai is considered a turning point in the more than two hundred years of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. The crushing defeat dealt a blow to the military and political dominance of the Horde. According to legend, the battle was preceded by a duel between the Russian hero Peresvet and the Pecheneg Chelubey.

November 24, 1480 – Fall of the Tatar-Mongol yoke

The Mongol yoke was established in Rus' in 1243 and remained unshakable for 237 years. At the end of November 1480, the Great Stand on the Ugra River ended, marking the victory of the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III over the Khan of the Great Horde, Akhmat.

October 26, 1612 – Liberation of the Kremlin from invaders

On this day, members of the people's militia, led by the legendary Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin, liberate the Kremlin from the Polish-Swedish invaders. Among those who left the Kremlin was the nun Martha with her son Mikhail Romanov, who in 1613 was proclaimed the new Russian sovereign.

June 27, 1709 – Battle of Poltava

The largest battle of the Northern War ended in a decisive victory for the Russian army. From that moment on, Sweden's authority as one of the leading military powers in Europe was over. But the power of the renewed Russian army was demonstrated to the whole world.

August 26, 1812 - Battle of Borodino

The largest battle of the Patriotic War lasted 12 hours. Both armies lost 25-30% of their strength. The battle was conceived by Napoleon as a general one, and the goal was a crushing defeat of the Russian army. However, the battle ended ingloriously for the French, despite the Russian retreat, and became the beginning of the end of the Napoleonic campaign.

February 19, 1861 – abolition of Russian serfdom

The freedom of the peasants was secured by the manifesto of Emperor Alexander II, who was popularly nicknamed the Liberator. By the time the manifesto was published, the share of serfs in the Russian population was about 37%.

February 27, 1917 – February Revolution

An armed uprising in February 1917 led to the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II. These events are considered the beginning of the Soviet period in Russian history. For the next 74 years, a new form of government was established in the state.

May 9, 1945 – Signing of the Act of Unconditional Surrender of Germany

The day of the end of the Great Patriotic War was declared a national holiday immediately in 1945. Despite the fact that the first victory parade took place in the capital on Red Square on June 24, 1945, Russians celebrate Victory Day on May 9.

April 12, 1961 - Yuri Gagarin's flight into space

The first human flight into space was not only the most important event in the scientific world, but also significantly strengthened the prestige of the USSR as a military space power. In the eyes of the whole world, the authority of the Americans was undermined; space flight became decisive for a number of states that wavered in their sympathies between the Union and the United States.

December 8, 1991 – Signing of the Agreement on the Creation of the CIS (Belovezhskaya Agreement)

The agreement was signed by three leaders: Boris Yeltsin, Stanislav Shushkevich and Leonid Kravchuk. This event can be considered the date of the final collapse of the USSR. By the end of 1991, the Russian Federation was recognized by the world community and took the place of the USSR in the UN. It can be considered that from this moment the history of modern Russia began.

Students in the 11th grade, for whom the last year of their school life has already begun, are interested in the question of whether the Unified State Examination in history will become a compulsory subject in 2019, as well as what changes are possible in the structure of tickets and what the date of the exam will be.

We will tell you what the exam for graduates of the 2018-2019 academic year will be like, what new things FIPI is preparing for the subject “history” and what the correct preparation should be to get a high score.

Is history a compulsory subject or not?

The results of 2017 and 2018 indicate that for many graduates history is one of the most difficult USE subjects. However, the Ministry of Education believes that every graduate should thoroughly know the history of his people, and important factors influencing the result are insufficient preparation of students and the low quality of teaching the subject in the regions.

The country's leadership sees the only way out by moving the Unified State Examination in history to the rank of compulsory subjects, which will oblige all schoolchildren to take the discipline more seriously, and school management to monitor the quality of teaching and the work of teachers. In her speeches, Olga Vasilyeva more than once raised the topic of a mandatory history exam: We invite you to listen to what the minister said in August 2018 about upcoming innovations regarding the English language and history during a live broadcast with Vladimir Putin.

At the end of October 2018, the decision on the third compulsory subject had not been officially made, so one can hope that in the coming 2019, the Unified State Exam in history will remain one of the subjects to choose from.

However, even if history, as before, remains in the package of elective subjects, the discipline will be mandatory for admission to Russian universities in such areas as:

  • story;
  • jurisprudence;
  • regional studies;
  • tourism;
  • archeology, etc.

In the draft Unified State Exam 2019 schedule, the following days are allocated for history:

Complexity of the subject and possible problems

Many students who took the Unified State Examination in history in past years associated the rather low result with a number of inconsistencies in the materials of KIMs and the textbooks that are used in the school curriculum and, accordingly, with which 11th-graders prepare for exams.

Important! It is worth considering that the history exam covers a fairly wide time range, which will require memorizing a large amount of material, including dates and information about important personalities who in one way or another influenced the course of history from ancient times to the present day.

How to solve this problem? Naturally, some changes will be made to the Unified State Examination history tickets developed for 2019. But in order to get a high score, you need to make every effort at the preparation stage, namely:

  1. It is necessary to learn not only dry dates and facts. It is important to systematize information and draw certain conclusions, which will help answer “complex questions” using logical reasoning, and not just look for a familiar picture.
  2. Do not limit yourself to the information given in the textbook, because it is impossible to fit everything into a paragraph. Always try to “go beyond the school curriculum” to know more.
  3. Consider all available options for practice tests and assignments from previous years, analyzing each in detail and dwelling on its features.

Changes for 2019

Anyone planning to take the Unified State Exam in history in 2019 should not worry. No significant changes are expected in the structure and content of CIMs. Although last year there was a proposal to introduce an oral part in the subject “history,” the exam for the 2018-2019 academic year will be held in the same format as in the previous season - in the form of multi-level tests with short and extended answers.

CMM structure and task features

Examinees will be given 3 hours 55 minutes (235 minutes) to complete a work consisting of 25 test tasks (including a short essay). The use of any additional materials and equipment is prohibited.

The distribution of CMM tasks for 2019 will be as follows:

Response type

Number of tasks

Time for 1 task

Expanded

Composition

At the same time, in each part there will be tasks of a basic and increased level of complexity, and the high level will be encountered by the examinee only in the 2nd part of the ticket and this will be an essay. It is worth noting that in 2019 the essay topics have not been changed, which means that preparing for the Unified State Exam in history will become a little easier, because there is a lot of material on the Internet to help graduates.

Performance evaluation

When calculating the final score, experts take into account 24 test questions and 7 criteria for assessing a historical essay, which in total gives 31 parameters for assigning test points.

The maximum the examinee can score is 55 primary points, which will correspond to the resulting 100 test points. The distribution of questions by level is as follows:

Primary points

Elevated

Total

In this case, experts will take into account the following assessment criteria for the essay:

  1. Correct indication of events taking into account the topic of the essay.
  2. Availability of information about important historical figures whose activities influenced the development of Russia in a given historical period.
  3. Arrangement of cause-and-effect relationships between the events of the period.
  4. Assessing the impact of the events of the described period on the further history of Russia.
  5. Correct use of historical terms.
  6. Presence of factual errors.
  7. Form of historical presentation.

Secrets of preparation

History is not an easy subject, but passing it with 100 marks is indeed quite possible! This is confirmed by the experience of many students who received the maximum score on the Unified State Exam and successfully entered their chosen specialty at the best universities in Russia.

How to do it? The first and main condition is a well-structured preparation process. For students who have a high score in the subject, this may well be independent work on the tickets, but for children who have certain difficulties and gaps in knowledge, it is better to leave the process of preparing for the Unified State Exam in the hands of an experienced tutor.

Teachers recommend starting your preparation by determining your current level of knowledge. This is very easy to do - just take last year’s Unified State Exam and evaluate your result by checking the answers with the correct options from the database. Critically evaluate your level and determine which topics are the most difficult for you, and therefore require special attention.

Next, you should move on to direct preparation. You can find a complete list of historical periods and events that are worth working through and repeating in the codifier that FIPI developed specifically for the 2019 Unified State Exam in history.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the material right now and download the file for further work offline.

Having identified the most difficult topics, it is worth looking for as much material as possible about the historical period and its outstanding personalities. A complete list of dates and important events can be found in the memo:

If you have difficulty remembering a large number of dates, try using a special technique, the effectiveness of which has been proven by both scientists and ordinary schoolchildren.

Appeal in case of poor result

If you do not agree with the points that were awarded based on the results of the examination work being reviewed by experts, you must file an appeal in a timely manner. The entire algorithm for challenging the result looks like this:

  • Submission of the application no later than the established date (see USE calendar 2019).
  • Personal presence at the appeal hearing (be prepared to calmly, clearly and competently explain why you do not agree with the commission’s decision).
  • Receiving the commission's decision.

Important! According to the law, parents or an official representative can accompany a graduate who has appealed the decision. If you want a teacher or tutor to be nearby at this moment, you will need to officially certify his status by visiting a notary.

Will an appeal help? Practice shows that many guys managed to prove that they deserve a higher grade. But, even if the commission does not find the arguments presented a sufficient argument to revise the assessment, it certainly will not go lower. Of course, in this situation, parents also need to take into account the psychological factor, because not every 11th grader has sufficient stress resistance and is ready to go to the end, defending their right to a high grade.
