Study Russian outside Russia

[Boele, O.F.]

Dear Seelangers,

I have just advised a Chinese-Dutch student of ours not to go on our
study-abroad program in St. Petersburg because of the high level of
racial violence in Russia and his own medical history (he suffers from
haemophilia). Can anyone suggest a good alternative? Is Minsk safe?
Would L'viv be an option? Or have I been too rash in advising this
student against Russia?

Cheers!
