At present, the topic of city safety is extremely urgent, as every person would like to feel protected. Experts conducted a survey of residents of various localities in Russia. His goal was to answer the question: "What is the safest city in Russia?" Security estimated more than 310 thousand Russians.
As a result of the survey, the rating of the safest Russian cities in 2016 was compiled. We will become acquainted with it in more detail.
Tenth place - Kirov
Kirov - the administrative center of the Kirov region, is on the river Vyatka. 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 here painlessly. Therefore, it is relatively easy to live here. As the statistics show, most of the crimes in the territory of Kirov occur as a result of alcohol intake, 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. It is located on the river Kama. Tranquility in this city is explained not only by the conscientiousness of local residents, but also by the good work of the law enforcement bodies. Of course, here, as in other cities, there are petty thefts and homicides. However, there is a lack of criminal authorities and organized criminal groups. According to Nizhnekamsk, locals are not afraid to walk even at night.
Eighth place - Surgut
This is a densely populated city. It has many jobs, and therefore there are always many people who want to work and earn. However, there are also those who wish to cash in on dishonest means. But this does not undermine the security of the city. Basically, the riots are created by people of Caucasian nationality, who often can not resolve conflicts civilly. As a rule, these cases are rare (every few years), but they become known to the public, as in such a quiet city they cause a resonance.
Seventh place - Cheboksary
The capital of Chuvashia also entered the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia for living. Cheboksary has always been calm, even in the dashing nineties. This is explained by the fact that every tenth citizen of the city represents law enforcement bodies. This trend has persisted 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 the privatization cases in which the heads of the region were involved have even ceased to appear.
Sixth place - Armavir
This is the city of the Krasnodar Territory, in which the local police work very well. It is an example for many Russian cities. Currently, the "Safe City" project is being implemented here. Cameras are installed everywhere. Also, terminals are being put up at present, which allow us to promptly contact law enforcement officials. As a result, a high response rate for any incidents is provided. Therefore, it is not surprising that Armavir is on the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia. Mostly there are small fights here, but they also stop quickly. This also indicates that there is active propaganda among the population to prevent criminal acts.
The fifth place - Murmansk
In the middle of the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia, is Murmansk. In the nineties, when in other populated areas crime flourished, 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 losing capital was also quite high. This served as an incentive to search for more profitable niches instead of loudly clarifying the relations and division of the territory. Mainly, the disorder in the city is arranged by the children of high-ranking officials. They sometimes allow themselves to violate existing legislation, but this happens rarely. As a rule, they do not cause any harm to the life and health of people, but the Murmansk media like to publicize these incidents.
Fourth place - Sochi
Thanks to the holding of the Olympic Games, peace and order reigns in the city. Therefore, it is not surprising that he is on the list of "The Most Safe Cities in 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 ranked first in the rating of the most dangerous cities in Russia today. Law enforcement agencies carried out serious work to eliminate crime here, so as not to disgrace themselves before the whole world and create a favorable impression about the resort both among all tourists and athletes. In Sochi, even almost no people left without a specific place of residence. Order law enforcement provide to this day to increase the influx of tourists in this small town.
Third place - Saransk
In the top three in the list that distinguishes the safest cities in Russia, in the last place is Saransk. Local police work efficiently and react quickly to any challenge. This is due to the fact that law enforcement agencies are closely cooperating with the police of other countries. Most of the groups that existed in the city in the nineties, they destroyed themselves in the internecine struggle. The rest felt the collapse of their activities and went into the informal sector. Saransk is on the way of deliveries of drugs to the country, but, despite this, the goods are quickly detected by customs officers. The local population is not interested in drugs, because the city's population is characterized by low incomes.
Second place - Nizhnevartovsk
This city is deservedly included in the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia. Here there are elements of the underworld, but they avoid manifestations of any violence. Basically, they concentrate their efforts on the implementation of various kinds of financial frauds with real estate. Law enforcement agencies conduct an active struggle against violators, but still, due to the incompetence of many people, they manage to turn unfair deals. Citizens of the city can safely walk along the night streets, since the main share of conflicts is connected with the clarification of household issues against the background of alcoholic intoxication.
First place - Grozny
According to the results of the survey, it was Grozny who was recognized as the safest city in the Russian Federation. This is explained by the conduct by the President of the Republic of Ramzan Kadyrov of operational anti-terrorist measures. The streets of the city are constantly patrolled, so any attempts at terrorist attacks are stopped at the initial stage. To date, all the riots in the city have been eliminated. Therefore, you can go here without fear for your life.
Thus, it is in Grozny that in 2016 the top of the safest cities of Russia crowns. Similar surveys were conducted earlier, and their result was somewhat 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 respects the safety of settlements is determined by the work of law enforcement agencies. That is why in all cities of the Russian Federation by 2020 the introduction of a comprehensive program "Safe City" is planned, which will greatly improve existing security systems.
