This article discusses the prospects for the development of Russian higher education’s export to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Based on the analysis of the Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation, the Decree of the RF President “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation till 2024”, the materials of the federal project “Export of Education”, and the national project “Science and Universities”, the authors have ascertained that at the level of strategic documents, the export of educational services in Russia is considered as a tool of “soft power” — a source of state income and a way to attract highly-qualified specialists to the labor market. The authors have conducted a study of the potential of the educational market in Vietnam based on the analysis of the previous researches on educational migration, statistical information of education export to Vietnam, the state of Russian-Vietnamese relations, the position of the Russian language in the country, and key statistical indicators, as well as participant observation within the framework of the author’s professional activities. The role of Rossotrudnichestvo Office in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in expertise, consultations, and organizational support to Russian educational organizations is considered. This paper analyzes the experience of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov as it entered the educational market of Vietnam and established contacts with Vietnamese universities: the Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT) and the Vietnam National University of Forestry (VNUF). Conclusions are drawn about the potential for strengthening the positions of the Russian higher educational institutions in the educational market of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the near future, as well as the importance of developing scientific and educational cooperation with Vietnamese universities as an effective tool for developing academic mobility, promoting the Russian language, implementing joint educational programs, research projects and developing export of education in general.

The authors based on the study of normative and statistical data reveal the processes of educational migration to the Russian Federation in the XXI century, its positive and negative consequences and significance for strengthening international relations. As a result of the research, the authors conclude that the presence of a large number of various projects and programs, international agreements and agreements, and the growing number of foreign students indicate the interest of the Russian Federation in the development of educational migration, which allows us to promote and support the Russian language and cultural heritage of the country within the framework of the "soft power" policy. This area is an important part of the development of Russia's political and international relations with other countries. The growth of foreign students indicates the strengthening of Russia's international relations in the field of education, primarily with the countries of the Afro-Asian region and the CIS.

Attempts to build a “Russian world” within the former Soviet republics of Central Asia by introducing an idea of a single linguistic, cultural and political space with the Russian Federation are studied in the article. The threats to the Central Asian countries’ information space are analyzed. The data on gradual changing of orientations of the Central Asian states’ citizens when choosing sources of information is provided. It is concluded that the technologies of the Russian Federation’s propaganda in Central Asia are aimed primarily at the formation of the president of Russia positive image among the widest possible groups of population. Attempts to push so-called “the Russian world”, which already jeopardize global peaceful balance, are grounded, in particular, on a widespread use of the Russian language within the territories of the former USSR that serves to propagate an idea of a single linguistic, cultural and political space. At the same time, a revival and development of national languages and cultures are intensively ongoing in all new independent states. It provokes a confrontation that often causes points of tension and conflicts. A large number of the Russian media, including federal state editions, TV channels. the Sputnik news agency etc. operates in Central Asian information space. Using own controlled media, the Kremlin seeks to convince the Central Asian states’ citizens that the Russia’s foreign policy is a right one, as well as to form a positive image of Russia and president Putin as a politician who is capable to ensure stability and security in the Central Asian region. The Russian Federation pays a special attention to Eastern Kazakhstan, where a large number of ethnic Russians is concentrated. Kazakhstan has much in common with Ukraine on its ethnic population composition, economic situation and geographical proximity to Russia. As in Ukraine, the ethnic Russians make up about 1/5 of the population in Kazakhstan, meanwhile the Russian language is widely used in all spheres. Russia calls its initiative a “humanitarian project”, but there is no doubt that the Kremlin is fighting for minds of younger generation, trying to impose own culture and values on young people. Recently, while alternative sources of information have been spreading, more and more Central Asian habitants opt for online information in their national languages, considering Russianspeaking news resources to be a propaganda.

This paper presents a sociolinguistic analysis of the current linguistic situation in the Russian Federation. Preservation and development of the Russian language represents the national interest of the state. The Russian language has the status of a state language, but, given the large number of ethnic groups living on the territory of Russia, it must not jeopardise other national languages, as this could lead to inter-ethnic conflicts. Some of the key issues Russia is currently facing in this field are: the process of globalisation, the uncontrolled penetration of anglicisms into the Russian language, the adverse impact of the Internet and social networks on literacy, especially with the younger population. All valid rules of the Russian orthography are, in fact, prescribed by the Government of The Russian Federation. Laws regulating the area of language policy are the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Law on the Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation, and the Law on the State Language of the Russian Federation.

AbstractThe chapter traces the evolution of digital art produced in the Russian Federation and in the Russian language by critically considering a number of case studies and re-conceptualizing historical periods. It takes into account technologies, institutions, individual artists and artistic networks, and modes of presentation, appreciation and re-contextualization. It contributes to the debates about the nature and focus of art in the digital era by assessing historical, economic and creative factors. It showcases how digital art might be understood as a particular medium, platform, network, aesthetic and function, and it also argues that digital art does not fit into those categories. Instead notions of transformation, scope and duration are used to account for new forms of artistic expression.
