The original Russian-language order with the procedure it approves and two annexes, reproduced unaltered. In this copy the date and number of the order are left blank, so it is either the version circulated before registration or a draft; its internal deadlines run from 4 April to 12 July 2025. The file has been re-saved with document metadata removed.
The all-Russian verification tests (ВПР) are the Russian state's annual check of what pupils know against federal standards, run by Rosobrnadzor through its online system FIS OKO. This order applies them to every school in occupied Luhansk Oblast: pupils in all years except Years 1 to 3, 9 and 11 sit tests in subjects assigned at random by the federal organiser, with pupils coded by five-digit numbers, results uploaded to FIS OKO and analysed for the ministry by 12 July 2025. The procedure requires independent observers in schools, confidentiality rules for test materials and a ban on phones in the room. Annex lists name a regional coordinator and 23 municipal coordinators, one for each city and municipal district. They include the northern districts occupied only since 2022, such as Starobilsk, Novopskov, Bilovodsk and Troitske. The document shows the routine end of integration: schools in occupied Luhansk are graded in the same federal system and on the same Russian standards as schools in Russia, with the occupation ministry acting as a regional branch of Rosobrnadzor's testing machinery.
