The article discusses the results of the quantitative and qualitative survey on the online foreign language (FL) learning in Russian tertiary education during the pandemic that consisted of three parts: personal information, Likert scale and open questions. This anonymous survey includes the responses of 328 undergraduate and graduate students. It highlights main challenges students had to face studying FL online and their general thoughts and concerns connected with the issue. In general, the responses of the students of the Russian universities showed that the transition to online FL classes was a positive experience to them, since they confirmed that the quality of education and assessment seemed to be the same as well as the diversity, interaction and interest. Furthermore, they received more personalized feedback which means that their professors of FL adapted to the new situation quickly and managed to maintain the teaching process. Students seemed to appreciate the use of different platforms in class and for self-study. They mostly complained about the workload of written materials and insufficiency of speaking tasks. This study can contribute to similar research dedicated to experiences and opinions on online FL learning during the pandemic.
