"You should be aware that there have been numerous reports of intimidation and abuse of volunteers who have participated in the teaching program run by SV Travel, in Izhevsk, Russia, which is advertised on your site. The responsible thing to do would be to pull the advert for this program. Reports of this are cropping up on other bulletin boards where this program is publicised."

"Thank you for writing me about this message. The fact is that it is not the first such a message about our site and
about our volunteering program. Somebody finds sites with
our advertisement and put there messages like that one
you've sent to me.

Go to Lonely Planet Discussion Board. I've put there our message about teaching program in Izhevsk, Russia. You can see what happened. I thing that that is the work of the same people that have written to your site. They are trying to assure people in something what is not true. You'll also be able to see messages from vbykov, this person (Vladimir Bykov) is our Director General.

Our site (http://www.sv-agency.udm.ru) has a very good
world rating between Russian Travel sites (try 'Russian travel agency' at some search engine) and somebody
doesn't like it. And I thing there are not so many program
as we have. We offer a great opportunity for
people to experience Russia as it is in reality.

I'm working at Svezhy Veter Travel Agency since it's
beginning and I know all of volunteers myself and it's not
possible that someone from them could write it. You can read their stories about the life they spent in Izhevsk on our page http://www.sv-agency.udm.ru/svfiles/ourvol.htm You can write to them and ask their opinion. Currently there are 6 volunteers in Izhevsk and it will be more in summer. Some of them returned to Izhevsk after their first visit.

Please, if you have some question I'll answer all of them.
Someone is trying to destroy that what was being built by
other people, probably because they will never be able to
do the same themselves.

Thank you for listening to me.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,
Julia Islamova"
