摘要：The paper aims at tracing rapid changes in Russian digital education landscape having been shaken by the pandemic of 2020. To this end the study deals with the bulk of publications contributed by the Russian language authors to the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) Database as the fullest national research representation source, which includes the most influential research journals in the educational domain. The main research question that potentiated this study was weather the “shock digitisation” faced by many teaching practitioners has been problematized in recent Russian educational discourse. We rely upon the proposition that quick and dramatic shifts can impede adequate scientific reconceptualization of digitisation phenomenon as practical needs stand first in the priority. To test the proposition, the method of content analysis targeting the titles and abstracts of the papers included into Russian Science Citation Index database has been used. Findings demonstrated insignificant increase in the number of pandemic related publications on education digitisation. The data obtained suggests that the influence of the pandemic is little observed in the issues addressed by the latest publications in the Russian educational journals. The study can be of certain prognostic value for international comparative educationalists and policy makers.
