Opinions about study abroad programs in Siberia

[Steven Clancy]

Dear SEELANGS:

Two students at University of Chicago are determined to study Russian in
Siberia and are looking for a program. On their own, they've found this
one at Yakutsk State University:
        Description of program in previous
years: http://www.uarctic.org/north2north/YAKUTSK.pdf
        Email address is oip at sitc.ru

Apparently this program is also contingent on there being at least 4
students who wish to enroll for the summer program, roughly June 6, 2005
through August 6, 2005.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this program or could you recommend
other Siberian study-abroad programs for my students? Summer is preferable
to semester or academic year for these students.

Also, if you have any students with similar interests, it may help the
program to take place at all if there are other U.S. students interested.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Steven
