The article examines the inclusion of contemporary Russian authors’ texts in Russian as a foreign language (RFL) and Russian as a non-native language (RNL) courses. Methodological, cognitive, and cultural aspects of working with authentic literary and journalistic texts are analyzed. Using data from the National Corpus of the Russian Language and modern textbooks, the main difficulties foreign learners face are identified, and methods for overcoming them are proposed: text adaptation, context work, cognitive visualization, and discussion of cultural realities.
