As far as I can tell, most Norwegians know the difference between Kremlin and the Russian people. Nevertheless, in a teaching environment it might be particularly difficult to navigate given the political picture. What subject, may I ask? If it's a subject like history or philosophy, that can be pointed in a direction of "swaying people's opinions", you might be in for a hard denial.

I think the best you can do is simply get in touch with the university; send them an email, and be transparent and honest. You won't lose anything from humble requests.
