Crime in Moscow, Russia

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.

good everning illigal rds from 2008 year which dont know me carter uk 55 year and doing shame reputation for me on during many year and for my friends on during many year

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.

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

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.

Who said moscow is save??? I'm already lives here for 3 years and lot of racism here, and remember Russian people only be friendly with russian people or white people, but if you are black it will be difficult for you, don't walking in the night because to dangerous, especially if you meet with people from ex SSSR be careful because I have lots of experience with those people, if they want to talk to you please ignored!!! If some body try to follow you I metro or in the street, you should find out where the police, be careful because today lot of immigrants here, dont try speak in local language (Russian language) if you haven't knowledge, better you speaking in English and people more respect to you, try not to be close with people looks like middle asia and arab because you never know what will happen, in the day is safe but in the night totally not!!!Russian people they are not smiling but they are good people if you can identify who is Russian and who is immigrants, again be careful with immigrants if they need help or something just said no!!! And be careful with your bag and things, don't look like rich person or someone will follow you and rob you.

I'm from Moscow originally, and I lived there almost all my life. Well, I don't like it due to my own reasons, but even I have to admit that Moscow is safe. Actually only huge cities in Russia are safe, provinces and towns are kind of dangerous, especially for foreigners... But Moscow isn't dangerous.

People there can be rude and unfriendly sometimes, the city isn't friendly to disabled persons, most of locals don't speak english... But I lived there for decades, I never got robbed, and I don't know anyone who was. Some negative stuff happens anywhere, for sure.. But most areas of Moscow are safe even at night. Probably because of tons of policemen & CCTV everywhere.

I have lived in the centre of Moscow since my birth and as of now I have a few points to make about this abomination of a city.
If you're a tourist DO NOT visit Moscow unless you love being intimidated on you vacation.
At first glance, it may seem to you that Moscow is quite a developed and economically prospering city, with beautiful historic architecture, friendly (but gloomy) people etc. However, Moscow is all about the image, superficial beauty, deceit, which are maintained by sucking billions from the federal budget of the Russian Federation.
Danger and crime ooze from every single corner of this city.
Nobody here cares about building safe and stable, friendly for the disabled, constructions. Every month or so someone gets killed or injured by a fallen signpost, bridge, railing, reckless rich drug-heads, which always go unpunished because of the EXTREME levels of corruption and nepotism, and so on.
Countless illegal immigrants, Russians who come from smaller towns, especially from the southern part of the country, overflow the city. The rates of rape, mugging, scam, pick-pocketing, alcoholism (and recently popularized drug abuse) are staggering.
This all is accompanied by racism, sexism, intolerance, ignorance and impoliteness of the majority of the population of Moscow.
Anyway, most of the previous comments sum up the severity of crime in Moscow quite accurately. And I'm pretty surprised to see that Moscow has a better safety rating than Dublin or Stockholm.
