Is it safe for me to study in Russia?

It is true that level of racial violence in russia off the chart and in addition to that russia has the second highest homicide rate in the world (brazil is 1st). Their murder rate is 5 times higher than the murder rate in the U.S. And don't think that the police in russia will help you because they themselves are often racist and corrupt and incompetent. My advice for you is stay away from russia.
