Recently, domestic tourism has become very popular. More and more patriots consider it necessary to look into all corners of our country. Usually, before going anywhere, the traveler gets acquainted with the sights in advance and interesting places this place, its culture and special customs. Our country is still underdeveloped for mass tourism, many cities live by their own rules, some have remained in the "harsh 90s".
Fans of "traveling" around Russia should know where it is better not to stick out not only at night, but also be careful during the daytime and even with a large crowd of people. Almost every region is famous for a special kind of crime. The Ural boys are masters of “squeezing out mobile phones”, stern Siberian peasants may simply not like your look, and Tuva is generally famous for its arrogance and cruelty.
Be on the lookout and read the list of the most dangerous cities in Russia:
Permian
For the eighth year in a row, this glorious youth city has taken the first place of honor. And no matter how hard the local authorities tried to get rid of this cliché, it was all in vain. The city administration is actively developing the cultural and sports leisure of young people, building up Perm with new stadiums and educational centers. The main goal is to take young people away from the entrances and streets. Nevertheless, the UC indicator (the level of crime per 10 thousand people during the year) is equal to a record 889 points.
Kyzyl
Little is said about the main city of the Republic of Tuva on federal TV channels, but local crime statistics show rather terrible figures. If Perm is a leader in thefts and petty robbery, Kyzyl is famous for serious crimes and violence. When choosing a route with a stopping point in this region, be extremely careful. UP is equal to 643 points, of which 411 are especially serious.
Tyumen
The city is famous for gang warfare, raider takeovers and extortion. Criminal statistics are increased by national groups from a neighboring country that are actively involved in the distribution of drugs. The police are trying to cut off all distribution channels, but for the eleventh year now Tyumen has not fallen below the top five among the criminal cities. UE - 850 points.
Berezniki
A large industrial city of the Perm Territory. One of the most influential and cruel organized crime groups existed in this city. Local residents associate this with the former President of the Russian Federation B. Yeltsin, who was born in Berezniki. Many years have passed, but the echoes of the dashing 90s make themselves felt. Constant reports of banditry and robberies actively occupy the columns of news releases. UP - 843
Surgut
More recently, Surgut was close to Perm in terms of criminal indicators, but the dynamics of crime last years fell sharply. Excellent work in the aggregate of local authorities and the police in a couple of years will help the city completely get out of the rating. UP - 758 points.
If Surgut shows a decline in criminal activity, then Kurgan has recently shown a sharp jump in gang warfare, robberies, kidnappings and murders. The connection of criminal groups with the Tyumen bandits and the smuggling imported from Kazakhstan multiply the statistics of a dangerous city at times. PM for 10 thousand people is equal to 711 points.
There are no organized crime groups, gangster spheres, thieves in law in the city. This poor locality is famous for ordinary residents, a high percentage of whom like to drink, rowdy, steal something. Household squabbles and petty crime are so rampant that Chita is included in the list of the most dangerous cities in Russia. UP - 738 points, of which 386 are completely on "domestic soil".
Nizhny Novgorod
A fairly large and popular city among tourists, it gets into the rating, or rather, into the statistics on crimes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When compared with Chita, the situation with the local population is different here. High standard of living attracts a large number of migrants. More than 80% of all crimes committed are committed by guests from neighboring countries. UP - 601 points.
The city with a beautiful embankment, a modern air and railway station, which attracts hundreds of tourists, is also famous for its high crime rate. Some of the most high-profile and bloody showdowns of criminal gangs take place in this city. Samara gained particular fame when more than 30 missing businessmen were found at the bottom of a small river with stones tied to their feet. In principle, ordinary residents and guests of the city can feel quite calm on the streets even at night. But if you accidentally find yourself in the place of gang warfare, trouble cannot be avoided. UP - 538 points.
Nizhny Tagil
Closes the top ten is another Ural city. An industrial center with many enterprises and factories, also known big amount colonies. A number of former prisoners remain to live in this city upon release. For ordinary residents of Nizhny Tagil, this does not pose a particular danger, but from time to time, individuals arrange pogroms and robberies. The most vulnerable category is business. Racketeering, raider capture and kidnappings continue to this day. UP - 511 points.
After reviewing this list, perhaps many will be surprised - but where is Moscow, Rostov - dad, finally, Makhachkala? Despite the densely populated capital of our Motherland and a large number of visitors from neighboring countries, Moscow is in 112th place in terms of crime. Rostov-on-Don is even further away. Speaking about the Caucasian cities, they top the rating of the safest settlements in Russia. The first place belongs to the city of Grozny, the second to the city of Khasavyurt.
If we compare the crime rate with Europe, then almost all of our cities will be in the lead. The fault of such an anti-rating of the most dangerous cities in Russia lies not only with law enforcement officers, but also with the entire security and power structure, saturated with corruption.
