Locations outside of Russia to study Russian?

[Robert Chandler]

Dear Bill Rivers,

Cutting off cultural and educational links with Russia at a time like this seems to me deeply mistaken.  Do you, or anyone else, understand the reasons for this change?  Is it primarily a matter of (exaggerated) concern for the safety of the students, or does it spring from some idea of "punishing" Russia?

All the best,

Robet

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!
