Security Alert – U.S. Mission Russia (December 14, 2020)
Location: Russia, countrywide
Event: During the holiday season, security measures in Russia remain heightened due to ongoing threats posed by transnational terrorist organizations and individuals inspired by violent extremist ideology throughout Europe. Violent extremists continue to focus on locations such as Christmas holiday markets, shopping malls, airports, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, transportation hubs, and other soft targets frequented by tourists.
As in many other large cities, criminal activity (robberies, thefts, and burglaries) often increases during the holiday. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, do not leave packages and gifts in unattended vehicles, and always secure your residence. If using credit cards, be cognizant that financial fraud is also a concern, so check your statements regularly to verify charges.
