Abstract
This article is devoted to the export of higher education as it is becoming increasingly important in the strategy of socio-economic development in various countries around the world. Experts estimate that the global market of higher education is equivalent to 150 billion US dollars. Russia currently holds less than 1% of this market. The article attempts to estimate the contribution of foreign students to the Russian economy. The data used for this research is the 2013/2014 academic year statistics in Russian universities, which estimated 205 687 foreign students attending these universities. Given that the foreign students, according to some expert estimates, on average spend 25% more than domestic students, the authors conclude that the foreign students living in Russia spent about 25.4 billion rubles in 2014. In addition, the authors of the article provide recommendations for some of the priority actions that should be taken in order to increase Russian exports of higher education
