Abstract
The necessity of updating the lexical minima in the Requirements for Russian as a Foreign Language is substantiated. A detailed description of some lexical groups that reflect the changes that have taken place in the modern society, as well as lexical groups of TORFL-1 level, which are necessary for all students of preparatory departments for further education in Russian universities, is presented. Four lexical blocks that require updating are considered: the vocabulary that is in demand for the communication in the university academic environment; the vocabulary that ensures the use of technology and modern technologies; the scientific vocabulary, which is necessary for studying at a university; the linguistic terms. The author comes to the conclusion that the most popular groups are: the lexical units for communication with host organizations, the lexical units associated with ICT; the general scientific terms; the Russian grammatical lexical units that will help foreign students master the content of any scientific text.
