Today, the work of Russian universities is undergoing transformations associated both with modern global processes and their internationalization, which has lasted for decades, which makes their study an urgent research task. The purpose of this article is to determine the features of the internationalization of Russian universities in modern conditions. The methodological basis of the work was the methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, classification, as well as monitoring and analysis of statistical data, which made it possible to consider the key factors of the modern internationalization of Russian universities. As a result of the study, it was found that today Russian universities are actively involved in the process of internationalization and define it as a strategic component of their activities. They cannot avoid the influence of international and government factors that determine the choice of current and potential partners, as well as the political context of their activities in general. Today, Russia dominates the space of its neighboring countries and has the opportunity to develop its positions in a number of other regions. Work to popularize the Russian language and education, as well as attracting foreign applicants and teaching in foreign languages, represent positions that require special attention and, with active development, will ensure the strengthening of Russia and its universities in the process of internationalization of higher education.
