Is moscow secure?

Travel Tips

I am from the US and have been to Russia twice and found it to be very safe. To be honest the crime rate in Russia is actually lower than in the US.
I live in a small town in Georgia and would not walk down the street at 4 in the morning in my town sloshed.
Anytime you visit another country common sense has to come in play. Public drunkenness can get you arrested anywhere. Also, think of your city would you go into some areas at 4am.
If you are going to Russia go with a tour group or hire someone who will help you. You will enjoy yourself a lot more.

Actually, I've been in Moscow- not just on the outskirts. I stand by my answer- being 'slightly sloshed' is not a good way for anyone, especially a foreigner, to be navigating city streets of Moscow (or any other place, for that matter) at 4 am; taxis are a better way to go and/or being in a group.

And just this- The crime rates in Moscow (and other Rus'n and former USSR cities) are going up- because of increased narcotics use and poverty. Play smart, people. It's not worth taking dumb chances! The Best Answer has good advice.

Define secure? u need to be more specific before anyone answers u.Cheers :)
If by secure you mean safe, I would say somewhat. If you speak Russian and are white and don't look too unusual then you're fine. Otherwise you might get mugged(people will think you're a stupid tourist) or beat up by skin-heads (they don't like anyone who's not white).
