    It seems that you have there is a wild propaganda of hatred for Russia in MEDIA.

    The Olympics in Sochi will be far safer than the Olympics in London given the civil unrest and protests that are about to break out in Britain

    WTF? You can be shot only in Dagestan. But its far away from Sochi. What a nonsense. It could be funny if it was not so sad. I’ve been in Sochi many times,its safe city. Its resort.
    LA and Sacramento in 100x more dangerous than any russian city.
    You will not be shot just because you can’t buy guns. Only police and hunters have license to have it.

    There are a lot of stereotypes about Russia and Russians. Many of them are rather funny 🙂

    There are safer places, but yes, it is generally safe. Every city in the world has its more dangerous areas, even the most peaceful big cities like Tokyo, Sydney and Paris have their fair share of rough areas. Stay out of the rough areas and I don’t see any problems happening.
