Study Russian outside Russia

[Boele, O.F.]

Many thanks to all who responded to my query about "safe" language
programs in and outside the Russian Federation! In view of the many
promising alternatives that were suggested, I am positive the student in
question will have a great stay abroad. 

Thanks!

Otto Boele

Could I insert a plug for Vladivostok, my Russian "home town?"  It has a
relatively mixed population of Korean Russians and Chinese immigrants as
well as those of mixed ethnicity.  Most of the study abroad students are
from Asian countries (China, Vietnam, Japan,
etc.)  And the city can be a lot of fun with a nice mix of students from
throughout the Far East coming their for their education.  Check
