The article is devoted to the problem of the role of semiotic means in the development of a culture of social interaction between students of Russia and China receiving higher education in the Russian Federation. The object of the study is communication in the course of educational activities. The subject is communication means in the educational environment. The purpose of the study: to identify the completeness and nature of the orientation of students in the field of training "Pedagogical Education", profile "Physical Education" in the content of individual political and sports symbols of Russia and China. The theoretical analysis showed that semiotic means as a way of personality development in the course of communicative connections are a little-studied area of psychology, they were studied mainly from the perspective of the development of cognitive processes. At the same time, science practically does not use the legacy of cultural and historical psychology in terms of semiotic tools for personality development. The research method was a psychological experiment. The material of the author's methodology was ten political and sports symbols of Russia and China. The hypothesis of the study was that orientation in the symbols of another state shows not only gaps in the assimilation of their national symbols, but also creates incentives for in-depth study of both foreign and domestic culture. The scientific novelty of the study lies in establishing the role of political and sports symbols in the formation of a culture of social interaction of students in sports training profiles from different countries. It was shown that symbolic means, due to their specificity, reflect the content of the message clearly and understandably, create the basis for establishing positive contacts between communicants. The experiment revealed the need for an in-depth study of not only those symbols that have material fixation on the territory of the country, but are also located on the territories of other countries. The function of extraterritoriality of national symbols is shown using the example of the monument to the Liberator Soldier in Treptower Park in Germany and the Chinese cultural historical symbol "Dragon", widely used as an attribute throughout the world.
