The problem of adaptation of foreign students to the Russian educational environment is becoming increasingly important due to the increase in the number of foreign students in higher education institutions of Russia. The Internet support of the adaptation system on the basis of specially created for it support systems — “buddysystems” — begins particular importance in this process. The article describes the author’s system of work with newly arriving students, undergraduates, graduate students for their comprehensive adaptation at the Ural Federal University named after the fi rst President of Russia B. N.Yeltsin, Yekaterinburg, Russian Federation. One of the key elements is the using of digital technologies for successful communication with foreign students. Analysis of the project “BUDDYSYSTEMURFU” shows its multiplicativity and the possibility of implementation in the universities of the country.
