The aim of the paper is to examine attitude toward Russia among young Japanese people, and to investigate factors that affect their “distant neighbor” perceptions and attitudes, and how it has changed within five years. As relations between Japan and Russia grow more complex, the need for more knowledge for mutual understanding is getting great. It is based on a series of more detailed data analyses of the polls conducted at the Universities of Japan - as a part of research project “Student’s Representations of neighboring countries at the beginning of 21st century - Russia and Japan”. In the research author turned to a student’s audience, which is most perspective for acting with, on the way of creation of public opinion about foreign countries as well. Author address ﬁndings that obtained in 2007 and 2012 and use qualitative research methods, such as interviewing and discourse analysis. So, we provide an overview of findings from representative surveys and analyze findings from studies to draw conclusions about the drivers of changing public perceptions towards Russia. Presented research is an illustrative explanation - stereotyped images are long-lasting and durable. They are difficult to change and can be passed on as heritage from the past. Author concludes that although in general at the level of the University students’ perceptions towards Russia have not been changed, but in details we can see some quantitative changes. The results indicated that some Japanese students held quite optimistic opinions toward Russia, but there was also evidence that public opinions toward Russia differed across the students and sometimes not in positive way.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В работе исследуется динамика изменения восприятия России молодым поколением Японии. Цель статьи - рассмотреть, какие представления и стереотипы сложились у японской молодежи в отношении России, проанализировать факторы, влияющие на восприятие молодыми японцами «дальнего соседа», и то, как эти представления изменились за пять лет. По мере усложнения отношений между Японией и Россией возрастает потребность в получении большего объема знаний для выстраивания взаимопонимания. Для более детального анализа в статье были использованы данные опросов, проведенных в университетах Японии в рамках исследовательского проекта «Представления студентов о странах-соседях в начале XXI века - Россия и Япония». Как представляется, студенческая аудитория - наиболее перспективная для работы в плане формирования общественного мнения о зарубежных странах. Мы обращаемся к результатам, полученным в 2007 и 2012 гг., и используем эмпирические методы исследования, такие как опрос и анализ дискурса. Таким образом, мы предоставляем обзор результатов репрезентативных опросов и анализируем результаты исследований для того, чтобы сделать выводы о движущих факторах изменения общественного восприятия России молодыми японцами. Представленное исследование является иллюстративным объяснением того, что стереотипы долговечны - их довольно трудно изменить - и они могут передаваться из поколения в поколение. По результатам исследования автор пришел к следующему выводу: хотя в целом уровень восприятия России в студенческой среде не изменился, но, тем не менее, мы смогли увидеть некоторые количественные изменения. Результаты опросов показали, что определенная часть японских студентов придерживается довольно оптимистичного мнения о России. Однако были и свидетельства того, что по некоторым вопросам мнения японских студентов изменились, при этом иногда не в лучшую сторону.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>perceptions of countries</kwd><kwd>Japan</kwd><kwd>national images</kwd><kwd>cross-cultural studies</kwd><kwd>young generation of Japan</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>восприятие стран</kwd><kwd>Япония</kwd><kwd>национальные имиджи</kwd><kwd>межкультурные исследования</kwd><kwd>молодое поколение Японии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Castano, E., Bonacossa, A. &amp; Gries, P.
