ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the challenges facing educational policymakers and providers. The priority areas of stakeholders at various levels (federal, regional, and local government) are also considered. The chapter also examines the form and content of such education including the importance and urgency of professional education language training and ethno-socio-cultural education. It discusses the critical issues for Russia's future, focusing specifically on the role and potential of a new popular education. Education has a key role to play in the Russian politics of migration and integration. Migration and the national ethnicity policy are considered by the state and by Russian society as two sides of the same coin. The migration problem is caused not only by the demographic situation, but also by the great differentiation of regions and the direction of the migratory flows that are based not a similar culture, but on the standard of living in a region.
