Future Exchange Student - Russia or Sweden?

Future Exchange Student - Russia or Sweden?
Thank you for clicking! I am currently a 17 year old Junior in high school with plans to become an exchange student. After my senior year I am planing to take a gap year to study abroad as a high school student. Originally, I had planned on studying in Russia. I feel that the culture is very interesting, and that the country as a whole can be very beautiful at times. I understand that there is an abundance of crime and poverty, too. I have been teaching myself Russian successfully for a few weeks now, and I have put a lot of hard work into it. I know how to pronounce every letter and how to make simple, yet important sentences. Recently, however, I have been wondering if it would be a better choice to study in Sweden. I also love the Nordic countries, and feel that they have much to offer. They are beautiful and tend to have a friendlier atmosphere. I am at a loss though, because I have put so much into learning Russian and was extremely excited about it for quite some time. I love both countries so much that I am now at a fork in the road. I am very confused, if anything. Perhaps spending 6 months in both countries would be best? Please leave your opinions. Personal experience stories would be fantastic! Thank you so much for taking your time to read.
