Cramming Students and Teachers: To further training in mathematics and physics, the state in the 1930's attracted interested high-school students into so-called "training groups," which used teachers from Moscow University for out-of-hours classes. This was to put down a firm foundation in mathematics and physics, and an "academic olympics" was even started for these groups.
在國家機器運作下，一九三○年代，蘇共針對數理等學科，吸收有興趣的中學生組成所謂「訓練班」，利用課餘由莫大老師義務「補習」，以打下穩固的數理基礎，針對這個小組，還成立「奧林匹克學術競賽」。
