A review of studies on the question of the mobility of Russian scientists in the recent period of Russian history is provided. The main stages and trends in the development of academic mobility over the past three decades are shown. The geography of migration flows, which involve employees of Russian research organizations and universities, is generalized. The unique position of Russia in terms of attractiveness for migrants from neighboring countries, which makes it possible to compensate to a certain extent for the outflow of domestic specialists, is emphasized. In addition, the authors draw attention to the methodological aspects of studying academic mobility and assessing its effectiveness, including the problem of data reliability and the development of a system of indicators.
