The study analyzes the sociolinguistic significance of the Russian language, innovative educational technologies, government support programs, and the growing role of bilingualism in modern Uzbek society. Particular attention is devoted to the increasing demand for Russian language proficiency among students and young professionals due to educational mobility, labor migration, intercultural communication, and international cooperation. The article also explores challenges faced by teachers and educational institutions, including the shortage of qualified specialists, the need for updated teaching materials, and the integration of digital learning environments. The research concludes that RFL in Uzbekistan is undergoing dynamic development and remains an important component of the country’s educational and cultural landscape.
