Is it safe to travel to Russia now?
Russian tourism is not safe. The reason for this is the following:
1. Some border areas in Russia (such as Chechnya and Dagestan) and conflict areas in Ukraine (such as Donbass and Crimea) have relatively poor public security, and there are risks such as terrorist attacks and armed conflicts, so it is not recommended to go.
2. Natural environment: Some Russian Far East regions (such as Lake Baikal and kamchatka peninsula) are rich in tourism resources, but there are also dangers such as natural disasters (such as volcanic eruptions and avalanches) and wild animals (such as brown bears).
3. In 2022, there were more than 2,000 Russian citizens' human rights violations, resulting in 10 deaths, hundreds of injuries and more than 1,000 losses. Therefore, tourists still need to be vigilant when traveling in Russia.
Is it safe to travel to Russia now? The Russian-Ukrainian war has lasted for nearly two years, and Ukrainian drones have arrived in Moscow, causing security concerns. Moscow is relatively safe, but not absolute, close to the war zone, and frequent air combat.
St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Lake Baikal, Vladivostok, Haba and other areas are relatively safe, so you can rest assured to play. It is expected that the conflict will end next year, and Trump may return due to the lack of progress in aiding Ukraine and the US election year.
Passengers travelling to Moscow should avoid western areas and popular scenic spots and buy overseas accident insurance. At present, the price of air tickets in Moscow has dropped sharply. The average price of a trip is about 2K, the return trip is 1.5K, and the ruble has dropped by 30%. However, the price may rise, and the income of ordinary residents has not increased.
To sum up, those who are brave can consider going to China this year, although there are still a large number of Russians living there, and their safety is guaranteed. Timid travelers suggest not going to or only going to risk-free areas this year, and planning their trip to Moscow after the war.
