I am an Australian of Asian decent and are not sure what I need to do to stay safe when I travel to Russia. According to the news the latest attack happened near the railway station. Should I only travel by car with armed guards all the time?

Answer
Sure Russia has nationalist spirit, but you are definitely taking it a bit too far. Most, if not all, of the skinhead attacks were conducted against people from former Soviet Union, as they are the ones who immigrate to Russia, looking for jobs, and against anti-fascist activists. Asians are pretty safe there :) I am not sure if it's even legal to carry guns in Russia without a special permission. And it isn't like those attacks just happen now and then, each one is a terrible and notable event. I know plenty of Korean students who came to Moscow to study Russian, and they all returned home safe and sound, with great memories.
I think that if you resist the urge to walk around bad neighborhoods alone at night, you would be pretty safe.

Georgia is gonna be erase out of the map by Russia?
Rey
Latest news had said that Russian soldiers are only 12 Miles out of the Georgian capital. Georgia is gonna fithg the Russia till the very end. If this happens Georgia will be eraised out of the face of Earth, unless some one does something.
Is georgia gona get aid to defend his self from Russia, will be eraise?
Damm if i was president Bush i would go to Georgia and fuck Iraq, that is gona be a massecre and the end of a US allie.
FUCK BUSH he dosent deserve to live if he lets Georgia fall like a dog.
Russia has broken their word and has send in armor vehicles to Gori on the 14.
Armor vehicles have been seen enter the city of Gori but Russians said they have no armor vehicles.
RUSSIANS ARE LIARS, they are gona unite the old USSR once again, and no one is gona stop from making a massecre.
Answer
No, it won't. Unfortunately for Russia it's not good old days.
2 Garish:
1) Claims of Genocide committed by Georgians are not confirmed by anyone. All we have is Russian accusations which given Russia's credibility worth close to nothing. Especially now, when they do need something to justify their aggression. However, HRW reported that Russian/Ossetin claims of thousands of dead are grossly inflated. Real number of dead 44, treated for wounds 273.
Simply put, it's yet another lie from Russians and S.O. separatists.
For last 3 days Russia was denying its military ever entered Georgian town Gori, now they say they will leave it in 2 days. So, how are they gonna leave a town they never entered anyway? I'm sure if western media didn't witness Russians, Cossaks and Osetians looting the city they'd never admit being there at all. I assume they were removing all dangerous items from apartment buildings that could be used against Osetia such as bikes, electronics, tv-s, etc...
2) Also, it's suspicious that Russians refuse to let anyone in the conflict zone to investigate those claims of Genocide. Interesting why... The rest of the world is incompetent to investigate and only Russian investigators can find out the truth? Or may be they need time to make the "truth"?
If you insist that the nation should be erased form the earth because of genocide wouldn't that itself be a genocide? So, you're promoting Georgian genocide now?
And finally, if you have such strong position, then it's been proven, documented and filmed by various sources including Russian that Russia was committing genocide and all sorts of atrocities against civilian population in Chechnya for 12+ years.
Do you think Russians need to be erased from the map too, or it's ok for them since they're big or help out one group of separatists while drowning in blood another group of separatists?
P.S. Even with Eu and USA support Georgia still got pounded by Russian military. Civilian population killed, looting by Russians, cossaks and Osetians was widely reported. imagine what'd happen without international support.
BTW, Russia was trying to erase Chechnya for more than 10 years and there's still resistance to marionette regime installed by Moscow in Grozny.
In the end, I don't think Russia can afford to get into another war in Caucasus as in Chechnya for multiple reasons. I.e try to occupy. Russia isn't very popular with neighbors especially on Caucasus.
Although all that is logically, practically on nationalistic motives and on "let's rebuild the might of Russian empire" slogans they can do lots of stupid things.
