Abstract: Abstract Cultural diversity in education is growing, globally. The tendency is represented in Russian education as well. It makes critical for students and teachers to understand their own cultural dimensions to be able to appreciate cultural diversity of the world. The article explores cultural diversity in Russia via the dimensions of learning framework (CDLF), including cultural varieties regarding social relationships and epistemological beliefs. We illustrate the spectrum of dimensions’ variability as they might influence the way students and teachers interact in Russia and draw to historical roots of such interaction. The article addresses the challenges of CSR-related diversity in the context of education and suggests that these challenges can be reduced by applying a meaning-centered approach, which aims at developing personal responsibility for one’s own deeds and increases awareness of one’s own cultural heritage. We provide examples of creating educational ecology with collaborative and dialogic pedagogy, aimed at developing CSR-related diversity by supporting the innate capacity of an individual to create an authentic project of her or his life.
