Editing internships in Moscow

[George Fowler]

Greetings, SEELangers!

I have been asked to post this to the list by a colleague who isn't on
SEELangs. This could be an opportunity for someone who would like to go to
Moscow for a year. No endorsement implied etc. etc. I actually know a grad
student at another university who did this for a year; if someone would
like me to put them in touch with her, I'll be happy to do so off-list (but
I don't want to post that person's address to the list).
