the purpose of the article is to understand the experience of Altai State Pedagogical University in implementing an additional general education program for foreign Russian scholars "Cultural and cognitive space of the Russian world" in the strategy of continuing education (adult self-education). The program was implemented in May-June 2025 under the auspices of the International Teachers Association of Russian Language and Literature (ITARLL) with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. The main focus of the work is on the substantive component of the project and didactic aspects in the formation of skills among foreign Russian speakers who have already received higher education. The six thematic blocks that were mastered by the students are presented in detail: Russian linguistic personality, concept, communicative behavior, frame, and the Russian linguistic worldview were studied in theory. The research methods are analysis, generalization and description. The possibilities of practical application of the materials and research results may include the annual repetition of the additional general education program "Cultural and cognitive space of the Russian World" for foreign Russian speakers, as well as the thematic continuation of methodological support for students, the development of new programs and the creation of methodological associations for Russian speakers from different countries.
