It demonstrated the prominent role played by the new foreign political and economic contexts in shaping the views on the current situation and the format for further cooperation for the promotion of Russian science. Judging by the viewpoints expressed by representatives of Russia’s academic diaspora, it is feasible at present to revive the practice of small-scale initiatives and projects that do not require lengthy visits of foreign-based scientists to Russia, while at the same time being capable of attracting substantial help for domestic research organizations and teams. The possible scenarios for cooperation development were presented.
