As reported by the Prosecutor's Office of the Volgograd Region, the indictment has been approved against Svetlana Konovalova, the former headmistress of School No. 2 in the Octiabrskiy District, who was suspected of taking bribes for helping in passing the unified state examination (USE).
According to investigators, Konovalova was detained at receiving money from the parents of one of the pupils for a success at taking the USE.
