It's interesting, because our exchange student this year is from Russia. She lives about a 2 hour drive from Moscow. Her advice is never carry anything expensive in your hands, or let it be seen easily while walking the towns in the early to late evenings. During the daylight hours she says it is not as bad, but the criminal element would stop at nothing if they think you have something of value. Other than that she says you should be able to get around reasonably easy. If you are into sporting goods and the like, stop by her father's shops in Barnaul....lol.
