Ekaterina Murashova’s story “Correction Class” stands out in the general flow of modern Russian teenage literature. The topic of children - the dregs of society, often mentally handicapped, disabled, socially neglected - is too inconvenient and ugly, it is difficult to decide to talk about it. But the author produces a cheerful, optimistic work where, it seems, there can be no talk of any optimism. Murashova does not entertain the reader, does not flirt with him. It encourages the reading teenager to work together spiritually and morally, helps through complicity and sympathy for the characters of the book to realize themselves as a person, an individual, a citizen.
