The article discusses the urgent problem of attracting international students to Russian universities as well as their readiness to attract a new type of student. The work considers aspects of useful international experience of the issue: today when education has become one of the main priorities in countries with developing economies, many of them seek to establish partnerships with leading world universities. The authors made recommendations for adjusting the current situation in the Russian Federation, where the most intensive flow of international students comes from the former USSR republics studying at the expense of budgetary funds. At the same time, the choice for international students is limited to universities of the country’s largest cities — Moscow and St. Petersburg, and this requires a change. Also considered is the growth factor of the position of Russian universities in international rankings, high positions in which play a significant role in enhancing the flow of international students into the country.

The accurate perception of culture-specific emotions of the people living in the host country, may be the most significant, and yet the most underestimated challenge for the international students in the process of adjusting to a new culture. The latest report of the Institute of International Education (IIE) about Russia, confirmed that, in the year 2020, around 353,000 international students are currently studying in the Russian Federation. The studies of van de Vijver in 2007 and 2009 have confirmed that the foreign students from former Soviet republics or former USSR countries (students from post-soviet states, not including Russia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) have lower degrees of perceived cultural distance with Russian culture, this can be explained by the fact that the students from former Soviet republics can speak Russian language fluently, and share religion and traditions with Russian culture. Consequently, the group of students from former USSR countries adapt better to Russia in comparation to the rest of international students. The results of our study in 2020, revealed that the perception of Russian culture-specific emotions among international students studying in the Russian Federation, is significantly predicted by the similarity between the culture of the international students living in Russia and the culture of Russian society. Moreover, our study confirmed that the group of students from former Soviet republics, or former USSR countries, perceived more similarities with Russian national culture; therefore, this result is consistent with the findings of the aforementioned studies of van de Vijver in 2007 and 2009. Thus, we can consider that the accurate recognition of Russian culture-specific emotions and the perceived similarities to Russian cultural standards, may be very significant for the international students studying in the Russian Federation, especially for their process of adjusting to Russian culture. Nevertheless, further research on this topic is needed.

The purpose of the article is to consider the qualitative aspects of the modernization of the educational space of the Russian Federation on the basis of a political analysis of this process. The author presents the features of preparation and adoption of political and legal decisions in the field of education. It is considered in the article that many documents adopted in the field of education do not specify the mechanism for implementing the established norms and the required sources of funding. As a result, the conclusion is substantiated about the purposeful depoliticization of education and the transfer of the functions of educating the younger generation to other institutional formats that are not directly related to the education system. At the present stage, the mechanisms of interaction between the government and society in the field under study are mainly represented by an open public discussion. But the nature of the dialogue, expressed in the tacit disregard of public opinion by the state authorities, speaks of a hidden confrontation between the parties, which at times becomes open.

The article analyses the characteristic features of “incoming” academic mobility as a component of the “soft power” policy of modern Russia. The author pays attention to the fact that in recent years the attraction of foreign applicants and students to domestic universities has become more systematic and differentiated. However, the author thinks that in such policy does not pay due attention to the development of social studies and humanities, which allow preparing specialists of “strategic” features (political scientists, sociologists, PR, analysts, ideologists, journalists). They, after a reasonably short time, will sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly affect the political and economic situation in their countries. It is especially important if we take into account the emerging trend in the early XXI century of virtualisation and humanisation of social and public life. Accordingly, the article discusses the main effects that Russia can get from the training of international students in humanities and social studies. The author also presents recommendations on working with international students in the framework of academic mobility and attracting foreign applicants to the humanitarian and social studies educational programs of Russian universities.
