а там о России вот что:
Terrorism: Persons visiting or living in Russia remain potentially vulnerable to attacks by transnational and local terrorist organizations.
In the last decade, Moscow and St. Petersburg have been the targets of terrorist attacks. Bombings have occurred at Russian government buildings, airports, hotels, tourist sites, markets, entertainment venues, schools, residential complexes, and on public transportation (subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights).
Bomb threats against public venues are common. If you are at a location that receives a bomb threat, follow all instructions from the local police and security services.
North Caucasus Region: Civil and political unrest continues throughout the North Caucasus region including Chechnya, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Dagestan, Stavropol, Karachayevo-Cherkessiya, and Kabardino-Balkariya. Local criminal gangs have kidnapped foreigners, including U.S. citizens, for ransom.
Do not travel to Chechnya or any other areas in the North Caucasus region.
If you reside in these areas depart immediately.
U.S. government travel to the region is prohibited, due to ongoing security concerns.
U.S. Government has no ability to assist U.S. citizens in the North Caucasus Region.
Mt. Elbrus:
Do not attempt to climb Mt. Elbrus, as individuals must pass close to volatile and insecure areas of the North Caucasus region.
Crimea:
Do not travel to Crimea.
U.S. Embassy Kyiv’s Consular section provides services to U.S. citizens in Crimea.
The current status of Crimea prevents official Americans from traveling to that area.
Harassment: Foreigners have become victims of harassment, mistreatment, and extortion by law-enforcement and other officials.
Police do not need to show probable cause in order to stop, question, or detain individuals.
If stopped, obtain the officer's name, badge number, and patrol car number, and note where the stop happened, as this information assists local officials in identifying the perpetrators.
Report harassment or crimes to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow or the nearest U.S. Consulate General.
Demonstrations:
Avoid public demonstrations. U.S. citizens who have participated in demonstrations have been arrested by the Russian authorities. You can find Security Messages for U.S. citizens on the Embassy’s website at http://moscow.usembassy.gov/.
Crime:
Crimes against tourists occur at popular tourist sites and on public transportation.
Be cautious and aware of your surroundings. U.S. citizens have been victims of serious crimes when visiting Russia. The ability or willingness of Russian authorities to impartially and thoroughly investigate crimes against Americans is often doubtful. Death cases have resulted in disputed findings. Frequently, criminal gangs collude with the local police and operate with near impunity.
Exercise caution when large crowds have gathered.
Be vigilant, as pickpocketing is prevalent in the larger cities.
Do not leave bags unattended. Thieves are active on public transportation, underground walkways, the subway, overnight trains, train stations, airports, markets, tourist attractions, and restaurants.
Never leave your drink unattended in a bar or club (). Drink alcohol in moderation and stay in control.
Never agree to go to a bar or club with someone you have just met on the street. Criminals have drugged some travelers at bars, while others have taken strangers back to their lodgings, where they drugged, robbed, and/or assaulted them.
Report Credit card or ATM card theft to the credit card company or issuing bank immediately.
Avoid carrying large sums of cash. High-profile armed robberies are an almost daily occurrence. The attacks usually take place while the victims are either entering or exiting banks. These attacks occur throughout Moscow, including in the city center and near the U.S. Embassy. Travelers have also had cash stolen from hotel safes.
Be alert to other criminal schemes, such as:
“Turkey Drop” Scams, a street scam in which an individual "accidentally" drops money on the ground in front of an intended victim, while an accomplice either waits for the money to be picked up, or picks up the money him/herself and offers to split it with the pedestrian. Then the victim is accused of stealing the money. Do not pick up the money. Walk quickly away from the scene.
Internet Dating Scams: U.S. citizens have lost thousands of dollars to romantic “partners” met online who feign distress to persuade the American to send money. Never send money to anyone you have not met in person. Please review our information on International Financial Scams.
Airport Scams: A con artist asks you to watch his bag, then extorts money or other valuables to avoid hassle with the police. Never agree to watch a bag that belongs to a stranger.
Crimes Involving Businesses: Extortion and corruption are common in the business environment. Business disputes may involve threats of or even acts of violence. Organized criminal groups, and occasionally even local police, target foreign businesses in many cities and have been known to demand protection money.
See the Department of State and the FBI pages for additional information on scams.
Victims of Crime: Report crimes to the local police at 02 or 102, or 112 if using a mobile phone, and the U.S. Embassy at +7 495 728-5000, or the nearest consulate at the telephone numbers listed above in the Embassies and Consulates section. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the crime. United States law enforcement agencies do not have jurisdiction to investigate crimes against U.S. citizens that occur on Russian territory.
