Locations outside of Russia to study Russian?

[Monnier, Nicole M.]

Judith (and SEELANGStsy)!

Dear lord, is this true? (I'm not doubting you, Judith, I'd just like to hear confirmation from non-student sources.)

If this is true, this is disastrous, with funding implications for CLS and ROTC-GO scholarships as well (I heard there were problems with in-country programs for the latter this summer as well).

To state the obvious, colleagues, this is NOT good, either for our students, or for our field. We don't need cultural ties severed at a time when they are most needed.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Locations outside of Russia to study Russian?

Dear colleagues,
I have learned from one of my students scheduled to spend the year in Russia on a Boren that Boren is canceling Russian programs for this year.  She can still be funded to study Russian, but somewhere other than Russia.  Any thoughts on programs outside of Russia for the academic year that would still be accepting students for Russian language study? Thanks so much for any ideas you may have!
