Izhevsk is the perfect place for a cultural experience, you're very far from Moscow and St. Petersburg and foreigners are at a minimum. You'll feel Russia as it is throughout most of the country, not yet influenced by the West (Baskin Robbins and a pizza place are as close as you'll come). With the job however you will learn little to no Russian so if language is your goal reconsider, if socializing and culture are goals you'll find that here.

At times the vast differences can be trying, but at the end very rewarding. I basically wrote a novel while there so please e-mail me with any questions you may have about day to day life, challenges, the people, the city, the job, or any other curiosities you may have about the program or Izhevsk.
