Abstract

In the year 2002, the federal experiment on creating and developing the system of distance education in Russia came to its end.

The paper aims to review the development of distance education in the context of past and present difficulties, describe three main forms of distance learning technologies used in the country: case, Internet, and telecommunications; and outline the main forces and social needs that are turning distance education into one of the dominant strategies in modern Russian higher education.
