The article is devoted to the description of foreign highly qualified specialists living and working in Russia and studying Russian language. This type of contingent is relatively new for the methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language and has not been studied sufficiently yet. The article gives main characteristics of this group of people, their motives and goals in learning Russian, that were identified by questioning. The requests from this contingent of students (which are quite important for the methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language) are simultaneously the fastest possible way of learning Russian within a limited range of topics, adaptation to the Russian linguocultural environment, and the development of a system focused on highly qualified specialists.
