Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of monitoring carried out in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Tatarstan (more than 30 universities, institutes and their regional subdivisions). 47433 students were surveyed for the present analysis. The goal of the research was to study the parameters of educational environment that might potentially influence on individual’s psychological need for security. During the monitoring the students’ depression and aggression levels were measured. Questionnaire touched upon psychological security problems, such as relationships with teaching staff, relationships with peers, situations of psychological abuse (bullying and mobbing), emotional attitude towards studying. According to correlation analysis that was carried out, it was possible to single out multiple cases of correlation between aggression and depression with various security components of educational environment. The article reflects the fact that depression and aggression represent not only generalized, obscuredly specific patterns of psychological ill-being of a certain person, but they are known to be adjustment mechanisms that help to cope with adverse circumstances. Being closely related to different factors of schooling, depression and aggression can serve as secure and valid subjective markers of psychological security of a certain person in the educational environment.

Summary
Rapid changes of modern educational process under the conditions of transformation to information-oriented society is a direct result of international processes of globalization and digitalization. Any innovations and transformations in social reality are inevitably connected to certain risks and can lead to a decrease in psychological safety of personality. Nowadays this tendency is intensified by such factors as political and economic instability, threat to life and health in times of pandemic, toxic mass media. In case we need to talk about creation of educational environment, that has to integrate various mental and cultural patterns of Europe, Russia and China, it is important to sustain unique character and identity of the subjects of educational environment on the one hand and to define common features and parameters that might be universal and weakly specific (free from the cultural influence) on the other hand. Psychological safety of education environment is a priority in terms of universal human values and deserves a status of independent topic for cross-cultural research
