I'm considering taking an intensive Russian course in a Russian speaking country.
Ukraine may not be strictly speaking such a country, but it's close enough.
Living in Europe, it's probably the cheapest and simplest option for me.

Does anyone have recommendations as regards schools or even cities where I could
find a good 1-2 week course? It could be a group course or even individual lessons.

The locations that first come to mind are Kiev, Odessa, Sebastopol, Simferopol, Yalta,
or even Evpatorija.
