    Is Russia safe?

    If I was to visit Russia, cities like Moscow, can I go there without expecting to be taken up for hostage by some maniac?

    It's safe enough. But not that safe. Just don't act like an idiot and you'll be fine.... There's always the chance of terrorism, but it's the same as anywhere else these days...

    No. You will be abducted by aliens and have various probes inserted into your orifices within a week.
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    Every time I go to Moscow I end up being taken hostage by a maniac there. Got used to it already, a kind of habit, you know

    Everybody here are maniacs. Be very careful. Hostages are taken just on streets by hundreds. I'm a maniac myself. Come - I'll take you hostage and demand $5 million for your head.

    Send me a PM if you need me.

    Когда я выхожу из дома я знаю что меня могут изнасиловать поэтому когда они выйдут из кустов, схватят меня и изнасилуют, то проблема будет меньше.

    Да и наша жизнь в казахст..... России...
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
