It would be worse stuck in a village with no running water and no inside toilet

I think, that worst is stuck in the city for whole summer without friends. Besides i think that even in city, summer can be a fun. I'm sure in yours city are places, which you never saw :)

why not travel around? Many Russians I know travel across Europe in Summer. For Visa problems (which I have heard are quite frequent) you can do 1-2 work camps in Europe (which are also a lot of fun). If money is the problem, well then that is indeed a problem. :)
