To stay alive in Russia: how to prepare for a foreigner for the World Cup
There are only a few days left before the opening of the World Cup, which this year is held in Russia. Millions of fans from all over the world will come to our country. And if they have not been to Russia before, they are naturally concerned about the security issue. They want to know what threatens them in Russia.
How to protect yourself from dangers
The popular American video channel Infographics Show has published a video dedicated to the safety of foreign guests coming to Russia. Its creators tried to impartially tell what dangers the guests of our country could face and how they could be avoided.
The video says that the level of xenophobia in Russia is low. The level of conflicts on racial, national or religious grounds here is below the average, that is, insignificant. There is no particular homophobia, but the attitude towards representatives of non-traditional orientation is somewhat squeamish.
The homicide rate is slightly higher than the average and is mainly associated with alcohol or “evil” places. Go to museums, walk around the city and don't be afraid of anything. If you abuse alcohol, look for prostitutes, drugs or underground casinos, then you may well run into trouble.
For some reason, as the dangerous places for foreigners called the South of Russia and the North Caucasus. In fact, it is much safer there than in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Although Russian megacities are safer than many European capitals.
The main condition for the safety of a foreigner in Russia, according to the authors of the video, is adequate behavior. There is no arguing. And it seems to me that this advice will be useful not only for Russia. And another great piece of advice in terms of security is not to be rude to the Russians. Well, well done, everyone speaks correctly!
But what about the bears? Yes, they are mentioned too. It is said that meeting them, as well as wolves, vipers and tarantulas, is very dangerous. Although unlikely. A much greater danger can be an accident.
Comments to the video
No less interesting than the video itself were comments on it. Particularly amused was the statement of one guy from Cape Town, who now lives in Sochi and says that it is quite safe there. With the statement, I completely agree, Sochi is a beautiful seaside city. But after South Africa with its crime rate, almost all countries will seem safe, except perhaps Syria and Somalia.
The remaining comments, especially from foreign guests who have lived in Russia for a long time, also mention the friendliness and hospitality of Russian people. They say that good people with good intentions, no matter what country they come from, will be welcome in Russia.
Therefore, football fans can safely take their wives and children with them and come to us in Russia. They will not only be completely safe, but also have an excellent time in our country.
