As an example, we take Chinese students, whose share in recent years has significantly increased in the structure of foreign students choosing Russia as a country of higher education. The study identified both positive achievements in the field of educational cooperation between Russia and China, and those that negatively affect the attitude of Chinese students towards higher education in Russia. The main reason is related to the adaptation difficulties faced by foreign students in Russia and, in particular, Chinese. Accordingly, it is concluded that it is necessary to overcome barriers, both linguistic and mental, in the process of adaptation of foreign students in the Russian higher education system.

The article examines the transformational processes that are characteristic of both the entire Russian society and the institute of education, the results of which, forming the field of professional activity of teachers, become factors in the formation or deformation of their professional identity. The nature of the impact that these transformational processes have on the professional identity of teachers from different socio-professional groups (young teachers/experienced teachers) depends on the degree of consistency/mismatch between the internal generational characteristics of young and experienced teachers and the external institutional conditions that arise in the field of professional activity as a result of transformational processes. It is concluded that digital transformation is, on the one hand, a factor in the formation of the professional identity of young teachers, but at the same time, on the other hand, it is a factor in the deformation of the professional identity of experienced teachers. Socio-labor transformation is a factor of deformation for representatives of both socio-professional groups.

The article raises and analyzes the actual problems associated with the change in the value of health in the youth environment under the influence of the digital age, which sets its own special pace, rhythm and semantic coordinates of modernity and life. A review of the prevailing points of view and the results of sociological research in the context of the crisis socio-demographic reality of Russian society and the deteriorating health indicators of the younger generation made it possible to conclude that health as a value in the youth environment, subject to the trends of the digital era, is significantly changing its emphasis. As a result of this value transformation, a holistic view of health is being lost, which, while remaining a significant value for young people and Russian society as a whole, is losing its terminal positions. There is a deep gap between the value of health and the attitude towards it from the point of view of real behavioral practices of young people in the field of health. It can be assumed that such a tendency will contribute to the further reproduction of a culture of ill health among young people, which clearly determines the need for a deep sociological development at the theoretical and empirical level of this issue.
