Russian Study Abroad Programs Outside of Russia

[Svetlana Grenier]

Dear SEELANGers

Does anyone know what language programs (or funding) have been disconnected
in Russia because of the current political situation, sanctions, etc.?  For
example, Boren Sholarships site still seems to list Russia, or did I miss
something?

I would appreciate any information I could pass on to our students!

Best,
Svetlana Grenier
