>>9379421Go to Tomsk. There are over 9000 english speaking foreigners, good places to hang out, and the entire city is mostly partying university students and docile alcoholics. You can get out of town anytime - the nature is gorgeous. And if you’re really worried- as long as you stay on the main street (in Tomsk it’s Lenina ave) you’ll be good. Come during summer, though; sometimes it’s as low as -40°C during winter
