“…Despite the fact that most of the respondents prefer passive leisure surfing the Web, there are some respondents who go to the cinema and do shopping, walk around the city or do sports in the fitness center. Gaining experience in organizing free time in accordance with the norms of the host community is required for successful adaptation of the international students [18]. The urban identity formation plays a significant role in the process of acculturation of the representatives of another culture.…”

Due to the globalization process, most modern universities international. Russian higher education is also becoming multilingual and multicultural. A multicultural couples with a new academic experience has a significant impact on a new identity formation. Social identity is an individual’s sense of self as a member of a social group through sharing its values and involvement in activities to maintain its existence. Based on the 2017-2018 survey conducted among students from the People’s Republic of China and among university professors and specialists with international student advisory responsibilities, the article argues that an identity serves as a guideline in a self-determination process, helping the individual to cope with an uncertainty in terms of student mobility. A new identity formation plays a significant role in the process of acculturation of foreign students while studying abroad. Chinese students act as representatives of the values, behavioral norms and standards both of the Chinese community and Russian student community as well as the urban community. While studying in Russia, they adjust to formal and informal behavioral practices and develop them reproducing local academic and campus traditions.

Universities are increasingly seen as drivers of regional economic development. In this research, we undertook an analysis of the short-term academic mobility of university students as a factor in the internationalisation of higher education. The number of foreign students (International Student Ratio) attracted from across the world is an important metric in all global university rankings. As a result, universities aiming to improve their positions in the global educational market are actively implementing programmes to attract foreign students. Short-term educational programmes of academic mobility are characterised by a high level of flexibility in terms of management, thus being capable of meeting a wide range of needs and interests of potential students. In July 2019, we conducted a survey among Indian students (n = 65) participating in short-term international academic mobility programmes at the Ural Federal University (Ekaterinburg, Russia). The main goal of the empirical research was to investigate students’ motivational structure of participation in academic mobility and the role of such programmes in the implementation of students’ life plans. In addition, barriers to the effective implementation of short-term educational programmes at universities were revealed. According to the research results, Russian education is a status characteristic for Indian students, which allows them to gain important socio-cultural and communicative competencies, as well as to build professional trajectories in a foreign country. The respondents expressed willingness to continue their education in Russia as part of Master’s degree educational programmes. Among the main barriers and challenges, the respondents mentioned poor knowledge of the Russian language and financial difficulties.

These existing studies have contributed to the growing research of international students in Russia and have informed of current internationalization strategies and initiatives of the Russian government as well as institutions of higher education.…”

Russia is the sixth most attractive host country for international students, and this has translated into increased publications on international students in Russia. These studies have focused on the issues of Russian higher education internationalization, foreign student mobility, and acculturation challenges of international students. This paper seeks to highlight the knowledge base of international student research in Russia. Specifically, this paper represents a bibliometric review of indexed Scopus data to establish the seminal authors and current foci of research on international students in Russia. The findings indicate a present exponential growth in publications from 2015 in contrast to the slow start from 1999. The findings also demonstrate that the leading authors, with 59% of the sampled Scopus indexed articles, are affiliated with government-sponsored higher education institutions. The findings also established the most cited sources in the related literature and the current themes of research on international students in Russia. The implication of the research and limitations of the study were discussed. The directives for future research were proffered.
