description Based on the documents used, the article provides evidence of the low quality of mass Soviet education in the last two decades of the existence of the Soviet Union and reveals the reasons for this phenomenon. The purpose of the proposed study is to, based on an analysis of the state of the Soviet (later Russian) educational system, starting from the 70-ies of the XX century, as well as a number of decisions of Russian state authorities, to identify both strengths and weaknesses of domestic education and to develop certain recommendations for its improvement. Thus, the process of formation of the educational policy of the new Russia is traced and ways are outlined for improving the educational system for its fuller contribution to the formation of a new social reality. An analysis of the current situation in the country suggests that by now the state educational policy has contributed to the formation of a new education system. But this established system, developing in the realities of the reality surrounding it, was forced to repeat the entire set of not only positive, but also negative characteristics of the environment that created it. The attempts made to erect barriers in the way of the latter, according to the calculations of their creators, allowing the educational system to protect itself from the bad influence of the environment, such as the introduction of the Unified State Examination as a protection against corruption, turned out to be incapacitated. All attempts to make this exam more perfect did not lead to the desired result. As a result, it turned out that traditional methods of testing the knowledge of graduates of domestic schools give the best effect. In our opinion, the conclusion can only be this: the isolated improvement of educational institutions cannot be successful without improving the environment in which they exist. And such a recovery is now necessary on the basis of the full implementation in practice of the principles of responsibility and trust: the responsibility of the authorities to society, the responsibility of a citizen to the law, the responsibility of members of society to each other. Then the principle of mutual trust will prevail. Only under these conditions an effective educational system can be formed that contributes to the formation of a new social reality.
