The article provides an analysis of the current state of inclusive higher education in Russia based on the results of the implementation of the Interdepartmental Comprehensive Action Plan to ensure accessibility of vocational education for people with disabilities for 2016-2018 (approved by the Government of the Russian Federation on May 23, 2016 N 3467p-P8).According to this Plan a set of measures was implemented to help ensure that persons with disabilities receive high-quality higher education. The development and adoption of this document marked the beginning of a new stage in the formation and development of inclusive higher education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals, objectives and ways to achieve the main indicators of creating an accessible educational environment in Russian universities. Today in the Russian Federation a new Interdepartmental Comprehensive Action Plan has been developed and approved to increase the accessibility of secondary vocational and higher education for people with disabilities and limited health capabilities, including career guidance and employment of these persons. It was approved by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova No. 14000p-P8 (hereinafter referred to as the Interdepartmental Comprehensive Plan, ICP, VO, SPO). The 2021 ICP was formed by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science together with the Russian Ministry of Education, the Russian Ministry of Labor, other federal executive bodies and public organizations. The activities of the Interdepartmental Comprehensive Plan bring together more than 25 performers. The development of this Plan, as a strategic planning document based on the principles of succession and continuity, taking into account the stages and results of the implementation of previously adopted documents and largely determines the main directions for the development of inclusive higher education.
