It sounds like something out of a YA novel. If that theme continues, the nepo babies that got in through enrollment have a derogatory term for the kids who got in through the game show.

Come to think of it, yeah, sounds also like a Korean drama about bullying or social inequality :)

On a more serious note, there is only one public person I could think of who has enrolled into MGIMO through the game show, that's Alexey Navalny's aide Kira Yarmysh (there is even an episode of the game with her on YouTube; she lost that year and won a year later). I don't remember her mentioning any animosity towards her because of her participation.

Incredible find, thanks for sharing
