query: research on Russian paganism

[Francoise Rosset]

Dear SEELANGers:

One of my students is trying to put together a thesis on pagan ideas 
and practices that might have survived to mordern times, in Russia 
and Ireland. She'll be spending a semester in Ireland and wants to do 
summer research in Russia.  Her Russian is OK but certainly not 
fluent.

We're trying to determine how best to organize this: where should she 
be based, what institution, what area; which people should she 
contact and what is the best way of contacting them.
I have instructed her to start by contacting some folklore scholars 
in North America.

Any other suggestions and comments would be most welcome.
As always, thank you in advance.
