Abstract

In the current context of XXI century the immediate challenge in activities of state and local governments, the business community is training and retraining of specialists engaged in representative (legislative), executive and administrative authorities (in territorial subject of the Russian Federation and in municipal entities), in business communities. Meanwhile, it is emphasized that in higher education is happening today a blind copying or non-creative applying not cutting-edge knowledge from western textbooks in educational process. It is clear that students, postgraduates and other consumers of knowledge will prefer to study in western universities, i.e. at the source of traditional managerial subjects. The question that, rightly, is going to be asked is, what will happen to national universities, when Russia is already covered by foreign distance education networks with training in Russian language, or when here will be established branches of western universities. Curricula in the main world languages are already provided with a view to ensuring the attractiveness of European universities. It is clear that no national borders, language barriers will not save our universities, higher education from competition in the domestic or global educational market. A little solace can be only our computer backwardness, but it can be quite quickly overcome. Very regrettably, there is no much concern in this regard to authorities or to the educational community, not to mention development of strategies a programme of action aimed at increasing competitiveness of Russian science and education, particularly higher education. Instead of being the great scientific and educational power, the only thing we can be is "the great energy power". Frankly, it is a very questioned role in the realities of the XXI century - the century where knowledge and education come to the fore. It is noted that in order to adequately respond to the challenges of the present and future, in Russian higher education and science should take place radical changes aimed at increasing their competitiveness, at the contribution to implementation of strategic development objectives, at the creation of a model of society and economy development based on knowledge. This will be Russian (as opposed to European) measurement of our higher education and science, of their ability to produce, attract and retain "brains", to win competition for them, to reverse the process of "brain drain", to contribute to their work for the benefit of Russia, its future, i.e. to be forward looking.
