Abstract
The object of the study is international relations in the context of educational migration. The theoretical basis of the study includes the concepts of “soft power” and “smart power”, internationalisation of education, cultural exchange and scientific diplomacy. Historical aspects, as well as modern trends in higher education and international relations are considered. The state and dynamics of the export of educational services in the context of “soft power” in Russian foreign policy are determined. The author emphasizes the importance of education export as a way to influence political elites and societies, and also comes to the conclusion about the importance of improving the quality of education as an export product of Russia in order to increase its value at the international level, and accordingly, improve the image of Russia as a friendly state.
