Russia
Russia is now experiencing threats of violence, primarily near the Ukrainian border. It is suggested to avoid regions close to the border totally, especially when large crowds are present. These large numbers of residents often indicate a demonstration, which can lead to violence very rapidly. Street crime is also an important factor to be aware of when traveling to Russian territory.
While there are many threats surrounding certain areas in Russia, many still find it to be a safe place to visit. As long as one takes proper precaution and follows the advice of travel authorities, it is possible to experience a safe trip.
Whether you’re looking to book a trip to one of these countries due to a family visit or with an organized tourist group, it is important to take these concerns into consideration. Although it is advised to avoid many of these countries entirely for now, if you must visit, you can opt for a safer trip when following the proper guidelines.
