Russian student strive for 5. Both at schools and universities, a 5-grade scale is used: "5" = excellent, "4" = good, "3" = acceptable, "2" = "unacceptable" (Fail).
"5" is the best mark, "2" is the worst. Technically. a grade of "1" is the worst grade, but over time, it has been phased out and now is so rarely given that it is basically equivalent to not just a failing grade, but failing "with distinction". This system is not compulsory and in rare cases, for example, a 10-grade scale can be used.
"Plus" or "minus" signs can be added to a mark, e.g. "4+" means above good, "3-" means below satisfactory but not quite a failure or at least some part of the task was done and the teacher does not want to give him a bad mark. Or, for example, "4+" means that the work is quite good and very close to a "5", but not good enough to give a "5". "5+" is an excellent mark, given to distinguish a brilliant work.

An "A".
What are you on about? The cold war is over, and I'm almost certian Russian students fare better than Americans.
