Abstract
The article contains the results of a pilot study conducted by young researchers as part of the project “Russia Today and the Future: Factors of Attractiveness”, organized by the National Research Institute for Communication Development. Based on an analysis of information sources, foresight sessions, and a survey of young people from Central Asian countries studying in Russia (using the example of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan), the authors conclude that these countries have a solid basis for educational cooperation.
The authors note that not only a common historical past but also common cultural values serve as the basis for strengthening relations between countries. Active development of interactions in the field of culture and education expressed in holding many events aimed at familiarizing oneself with the traditions and customs of two peoples as well as promoting cultural and educational exchange play an important role in developing cooperation. Main aspects influencing student adaptation are considered educational opportunities, language barriers, cultural differences, social interactions. Meetings and negotiations at the level of country leaders enhance dialogue between the two cultures. Results of the survey and analysis are presented to identify current trends, both positive factors contributing to rapprochement and negative ones acting as obstacles to successful integration of young people into Russian society. Possible solutions for more successful partnership between countries are proposed to solve problems.
