Methods: the method of complex theoretical analysis of the phenomenon under study (analysis of publications about the presented phenomenon, description of the conceptual apparatus that underlies this study); modeling method (schematic representation of the structure of a typical online course lesson, its cyclicity); integrated (analysis of the effectiveness of including an online course in the educational process).

The scientific novelty and practical significance. The research present a comprehensive analysis of the lesson of the online Russian as a foreign language course and the description of its algorithm (level A1–A2). The results of the study contribute to the issue of the development and systematization of educational materials on Russian as a foreign language in a digital format. The described practical experience of creating an online course on this basis can be applied in the further development of digital resources for teaching Russian as a foreign language.
