Results and conclusions. The results of the study show that studying the state symbols of the country whose language is being studied, as part of the Russian as a foreign language (RKI) course, helps improve the skills of professional and intercultural communication of foreign students, based on the principles of respect and tolerance for the history and culture of another country. The assimilation of thematic vocabulary and the corresponding grammatical apparatus based on authentic materials enables students to improve their proficiency in the Russian language in line with a communicative and activity-based approach, as well as to form and develop intercultural competence through critical analysis of new regional information.
