There were just four kidnappings of foreign nationals in Russia last year, according to a report from a security group.
The United States has named Russia in a list of nearly three dozen countries where it warned its citizens risk being kidnapped across the globe.
While most of the featured countries were located in Africa and Asia, Russia and the neighboring Ukrainian districts held by eastern, pro-Moscow separatists stood out as the only parts of Europe included on the list. As the council noted, however,"the risk of kidnapping may be localized in some countries, rather than nationwide" and the State Department specifically warns U.S. citizens"do not travel" to the"North Caucasus, including Chechnya and Mount Elbrus, due to terrorism, kidnapping, and risk of civil unrest." It also warns against going to the Crimean Peninsula,"due to Russia’s occupation of the Ukrainian territory and abuses by its occupying authorities.
"We see acceptance of obvious realities in this statement," the embassy wrote."During the FIFA World Cup Moscow was visited by 167 thousands of U.S. citizens alone. In our capital and other cities they saw a different Russia, different from the one 'portrayed' by local mainstream media fueled by Russophobic circles in power. Old boogeyman stories have expired.
Throughout 2018, the world's top ten kidnapping locations for foreign nationals were Mexico , Greece , Nigeria , Benin , Libya , Colombia Cameroon , Lebanon , Spain and the Philippines , according to Constellis' 2018 report.
