Currently, the topic of urban safety is extremely relevant, since everyone would like to feel protected. Experts conducted a survey of residents of various settlements of Russia. His goal was to answer the question: "What is the safest city in Russia?" Safety was estimated by more than 310 thousand Russians.
As a result of the survey, a rating of the safest cities of Russia in 2016 was compiled. Let's get acquainted with it in more detail.
Tenth place - Kirov
Kirov is the administrative center of the Kirov region, located on the Vyatka River. It is a provincial quiet city. He was calm even when a wave of crime swept across the country. Zones of criminal influence were distributed painlessly here. Therefore, living here is relatively calm. According to statistics, most crimes in the territory of Kirov occur as a result of drinking alcohol, but this happens quite rarely. This is due to the poverty of the region and its inhabitants.
Ninth place - Nizhnekamsk
This is one of the largest
cities in Tatarstan. Located on the Kama River. The calm in this city is explained not only by the conscientiousness of local residents, but also by the good work of law enforcement agencies. Of course, here, as in other cities, minor thefts and domestic killings occur. However, there is a lack of criminal authorities and
organized criminal groups. Local residents are not afraid to walk around Nizhnekamsk even at night.
Eighth place - Surgut
It is a densely populated city. It has many jobs, and therefore there are always many who want to work and earn. However, there are those who wish to profit by dishonest means. But this does not undermine the security of the city too much. Mostly the riots here are created by people of Caucasian nationality, who often can not resolve conflicts in a civilized manner. As a rule, these cases are rare (once every few years), but the public becomes aware of them, since in such a calm city they cause a resonance.
Seventh place - Cheboksary
The capital of Chuvashia is also included in the list, which includes the safest cities of Russia for living. Cheboksary have always been calm, even in the
dashing nineties. This is due to the fact that every tenth citizen of the city represents law enforcement agencies. This trend has been going on for many years. That is why all criminal activity in Cheboksary is reduced to domestic conflicts. At the same time, criminals are quickly identified and sent to court. Recently, even privatization cases have ceased to appear in which the heads of the region have been involved.
Sixth place - Armavir
This is the city of the Krasnodar Territory, where the local police work very well. She is an example for many cities of Russia. Currently, the implementation of the Safe City project is ongoing. Camcorders are installed everywhere. Also, terminals are currently being installed that allow you to quickly contact law enforcement officials. The result is a high reaction rate to any incidents. Therefore, it is not surprising that Armavir is included in the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia. Mostly there are small fights, but they quickly stop. This also indicates that there is an active campaign among the population to prevent criminal acts.
Fifth place - Murmansk
In the middle of the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia, is Murmansk. In the nineties, when crime flourished in other localities, it was called “visitors and locals” only as a “city of opportunities." Here you could easily and quickly earn a large sum of money. However, the likelihood of loss of capital was also quite high. This served as an incentive to search for more profitable niches instead of a loud clarification of relations and division of the territory. Most of the mess in the city is arranged by the children of officials in senior positions. They sometimes allow themselves to violate current legislation, but this happens quite rarely. As a rule, they do not cause any harm to the life and health of people, but the Murmansk media love to publicize these incidents.
Fourth place - Sochi
Thanks to the Olympic Games, calm and order reign in the city. Therefore, it is not surprising that he is included in the list of "The Safest Cities of Russia". His rating is quite high. Especially when you consider that in the nineties the crime rate was as high as in the cities that rank first in the ranking of the most dangerous modern cities in Russia for living. Law enforcement agencies have done serious work to eliminate crime here, so as not to become disgraced in front of the whole world and create a favorable impression of the resort for both tourists and athletes. In Sochi, there were even practically no people left without a specific residence. To this day, law enforcement officers provide to this day in order to increase the influx of tourists into this small town.
Third place - Saransk
In the top three in the list highlighting the safest cities in Russia, Saransk is in last place. The local police work quite efficiently and quickly respond to any call. This is because law enforcement agencies work closely with the police in other countries. Most of the groups that existed in the city in the nineties destroyed themselves in an internecine struggle. The rest felt the collapse of their activities and went into the shadow sector. Saransk is on the route for delivering drugs to the country, but despite this, the goods are quickly discovered by customs officers. Drugs are uninteresting to the local population, as the residents of the city are characterized by a low level of income.
Second place - Nizhnevartovsk
This city is deservedly included in the list, including the safest cities in Russia. Here there are elements of the underworld, but they avoid the manifestation of any violence. Basically, they concentrate their efforts on the implementation of various kinds of financial frauds with real estate. Law enforcement agencies are actively fighting against violators, but still, due to the incompetence of many people, they manage to carry out unscrupulous transactions. Citizens of the city can safely walk along the night streets, since the main share of conflicts is connected with clarifying household issues amid alcohol intoxication.
First place - Grozny
According to the survey, it was Grozny that was recognized as the safest city in the Russian Federation. This is due to the implementation by the President of the Republic Ramzan Kadyrov of operational
anti-terrorism measures. The streets of the city are constantly patrolled, so any attempted attacks are stopped at the initial stage. To date, any unrest in the city has been eliminated. Therefore, you can go here without fear for your life.
Thus, it was Grozny in 2016 that crowns the top of the safest cities in Russia for life. Similar polls were conducted earlier, and their result was slightly different. So, the safest city in Russia in 2015 is Ryazan. It was here that the lowest crime rate was recorded. And the second and third places belonged to Ulyanovsk and Voronezh, respectively. In many ways, the security of human settlements is determined by the work of law enforcement agencies. That is why in all cities of the Russian Federation by 2020 it is planned to introduce a comprehensive program "Safe City", which will greatly improve the existing security systems.
