Query: Summer Russian language programs in Ukraine

[Dustin Hosseini]

I'm afraid the city might actually make a difference.  Historically, cities
in western Ukraine tend to be pro-Ukrainian language in everyday life and
lately even officially.  On the other hand, eastern Ukraine tends to be more
pro-Russian.  

So whereas in Lvov they'd prefer to speak Ukrainian, people would rather
speak Russian in say Kharkov.  

In Kiev you can get away with both Russian and Ukrainian, unless you run
into some street vendors who absolutely refuse to speak Russian; I've
experienced this on numerous occasions while visiting Kiev.  Again, these
were street vendors who were selling tourist items - not those working in
general services (hotels, shops, banks, etc).
