Hmm, I looked at the list of the world's most dangerous cities, and even scrolling all the way down did not reveal a single Russian city (its mainly South and Middle America, South Africa and the USA). Can you give a citation for your claim?
- sofixa 3y agoJust because Russian cities aren't among the most dangerous in official records doesn't make them in any way safe. If nothing else, the complete lack of rule of law, with arbitrary detentions, should be enough of an indicator of an unsafe place.
- jansan 3y agoThat needs citation, too.
- rayiner 3y agoNow you’re moving the goal posts. There’s plenty of places that lack political freedom but are very safe in terms of day to day life. E.g. China or Singapore.
- sofixa 3y agoWell it's a facet of day to day safety - if the police can detain you and torture you to death because they don't like your T-shirt's opinion, that country isn't safe on the expression side. Safety isn't only from random robbers and murderers, but also the state.
- rayiner 3y agoMost people just want to be safe from robbers and murderers. Trying to conflate political safety with physical safety is just wordplay.
