This article refl changes in the fi of higher education aimed at creating a unifi system of education of students based on traditional spiritual and moral values and social solidarity of the Russian society. Despite the large number of scientifi publications and discourse directed by the active activities of public authorities and the university community, there has not been a systematic understanding of professional competencies and personal characteristics of the main participants and initiators of these changes at the level of higher education institutions. It is primarily about the status and role positions of vice-rectors for youth policy and educational activities in the ongoing changes, as well as determining the totality of their personal qualities and competencies for the effective performance of their functions in the higher education. The research is based on the activity-activist approach, which provides theoretical and methodological tools in considering the specifi and content of the activities of actors as the elements of mechanism of change. The results obtained in the course of the study are of interest for optimizing the socio-professional activities of vice-rectors for the youth policy and educational work in the higher education organizations.

Implementation of the priority project «Export of education in sociological dimension annotation due to historical, geopolitical and economic reasons, higher education in the regions of Russia is in different conditions in implementation of the federal project «Export of Education». The main component of the project, which universities are focused on in organizing international activities, today is the indicator - the number of foreign students in a certain ratio with the number of university students. However, the key strategic goal of the project is to increase the competitiveness of Russian education in the international market of educational services due to the attractiveness of domestic educational programs for foreign citizens, improve their living conditions during the period of study in Russia, which, ultimately, should significantly increase the amount of revenue from export of educational services. Organization of international activities and work with foreign students in universities, as well as the implementation of the indicator «number of foreign students», within the framework of the project, became the subject of the presented study, the main methods of which were determined: nonstandardized interviews of leaders in charge of international activities of universities, and a survey foreign students of universities of the Khabarovsk territory. The obtained results allow us state that the project «Education Export» does not take into account the regional conditions for its implementation, the implementation of quantitative indicators is not additionally funded and is left to the mercy of universities. Foreign students of the region do not demonstrate complete satisfaction with education and organization of life. All this, on the one hand, is explained by the peculiarities of the motivation for their stay in the universities of Russia - the Khabarovsk territory, on the other hand, by the domestic specifics of the higher education system.
