The article shows how stigmatization of misspelling predated modern German and Russian orthographies and how this attitude was imported to Russia from Prussia in the 19th century. Rules were difficult to learn and to teach, making mistakes inevitable. Grading based on the number of errors helped to control and discipline students and to manage teachers. The repressive nature of mass, compulsory schools was both a product of and a hindrance to modernity gaining strength internationally
