НА:Study Russian outside Russia

[Kathryn Cassidy]

Dear Otto,

L'viv is definitely not an option for learning Russian, as it is a Ukrainian-speaking city. If you do want to suggest Ukraine as an alternative, I would recommend Odesa.

Тема: [SEELANGS] Study Russian outside Russia

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!
