The language isn't a barrier, it's what the language and more accurately the accent reminds of past actions (trauma)
When the Russian Federation adjusts it's geo strategy to current realities, things can move on.
Example: need for naval bases (Crimea, Kaliningrad, Marmunsk and Petersburg) was for the purpose of being able to control (apply taxes, tariff etc) and use maritime trade. Very similar to how Denmark was controlling trade in the Baltic.
Nowadays it's not as profitable as navy has become far more expensive and products from Russia has changed from valuable pelts and furs to gas, oil and precious metals.
Gas/oil transported by railway/pipes makes the need for a navy quite redundant unless such pipelines are made at sea and in harms danger due to possible sabotage. (Which useally happens via hack attacks and not by commandoes/sabotours.)
So creating schools for the purpose of promoting digital activities (digital currencies, digitally made art, digital tools, digital control of on-the-ground military vehicles/equipment, digital platforms, digital markets, creation of hardware)
Wouldn't only be groundbreaking and opens up the possibility of attracting interest but, also to recruit the best for hacking/military/intelligence purposes
Also improving infrastructure for trade from China would give a huge advantage to Russia cause of her landmass connecting China with Europe and improving it as much as possible, so as to make any other trade routes redundant and more costly compared to Russian infrastructure. Alas due to Russian paranoia and need for security a common tactic is to slowly improve it's infrastructure as to complicate possible enemy logistics
