"Contrary to previos comments, people are MURDERED because of thir race or clothes (and especially because of their gender and sexual orientation)"

Total bullshit. MURDERED BECAUSE OF THEIR GENDER. Well, yeah. We don`t love women, we kill them :)
In fact, Moscow is really safe. I walk at night without fear, not even in the city center

Moscow is the safiest place in the world. Every one is trying to help with smth and people look really happy.

This city may be safe, but the sexism, homphobia, and xenophobia (natioanlism) are VERY big problems of Moscow and the whole Russia. People are bigoted and agressive. Even if some tourists never encountered these problems - I have: I was living in Moscow for 28 years. If you are "different" or is not bland and grey as a typical russian citizen - you will be looked at obliquely, possibly verbally attacked, rejected. The country and its people is extremely hostile to individuality and does not accept freedom of expression. Especially now, when the war is ongoing.

Contrary to previos comments, people are MURDERED because of thir race or clothes (and especially because of their gender and sexual orientation). It won't change in the near future, as such behaviour and agression is state-backed. Is someone tells you that there are no nationalism and xenophobia in Russia - he either lies, or doesn't kknow what the situation in Russia is.

Even here it is fake filled by russians mostly. This crime rating looks like a joke ...
Russia is a country-terrorist and it cannot be safe. It's their native mentality.

Moscow is one of the safest cities I've ever been too. You may like or dislike Russia and politics attached, but it's one of the cleanest, safest European cities there is. Absolutelly sure safer than Paris, Rome, New York, and Berlin.

#Lois Ford the United States is enemies of Russia because the government hate Russia but some American people love Russia and some Russian people love United States but it;s ok you’re still allowed in Moscow

More than 100 different nations live in Russia and Moscow. You shouldn't worry about problems based on nationality. Moscow is becoming safer every year. Dont listen to anonymous, it’s safer here than in Athens, Belgrade, Kiev and many European cities. Here you will not find scammers like in the cities of Italy and France.

I advise you not to risk visiting Russia because the Russian people are racist, barbaric and very savage, Russia is a country of prostitution, crime, corruption and racism, and these characteristics are unique to Russia without other European countries.

Victor Muraviev on Feb 12, 2021:

Wonderful place. If it were to be less corrupt it would be absolutely flawless.

Anonymous on Jan 05, 2021:

So many Russophobic comments here. Most cities are quite safe. Just use common sense, and don’t walk in dark or dangerous looking places.

Anonymous on Jan 02, 2021:

We have always been deceived by the media and we used to see Russia as the country of a thousand and one nights, but this is completely wrong. Russia is a country that is not suitable for a visit, and the Russian people have a very strange character. The Russians are thirsty for violence and bloodshed, selfish and misunderstand people.
The bottom line is that visiting Russia or interacting with the Russians is not recommended and is not recommended.
