Currently, the topic of urban security is extremely relevant, since everyone would like to feel protected. Experts conducted a survey of residents of various settlements in Russia. Its purpose was to answer the question: "What is the safest city in Russia?" More than 310,000 Russians assessed safety.

As a result of the survey, a rating of the safest cities in Russia in 2016 was compiled. Let's get to know him in more detail.

Tenth place - Kirov

Kirov is the administrative center of the Kirov region, located on the Vyatka River. This is a provincial quiet city. He was calm even when a wave of crime swept across the country. Zones of criminal influence were painlessly distributed here. Therefore, living here is relatively calm. As statistics show, most crimes in the territory of Kirov occur as a result of alcohol intake, but this also happens quite rarely. This isdue 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. Calmness 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, there are petty thefts and domestic murders. 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

This is a densely populated city. It has a lot of jobs, and therefore there are always a lot of people who want to work and earn money. However, there are those who wish to profit dishonestly. But this does not undermine the security of the city too much. Basically, the unrest here is created by people of Caucasian nationality, who often cannot resolve conflicts in a civilized manner. As a rule, these cases are rare (once every few years), but they become known to the public, as they cause a resonance in such a calm city.

Seventh place - Cheboksary

The capital of Chuvashia was also included in the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia to live in. 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 agencies. This trendhas been preserved for many years. That is why all criminal activity in Cheboksary is reduced to domestic conflicts. At the same time, criminals are identified quickly and sent to trial. Recently, cases of privatization, in which the heads of the region were involved, have even ceased to appear.

Sixth place - Armavir

This is a city in the Krasnodar Territory, where the local police work very well. It is an example for many Russian cities. Currently, the Safe City project is being implemented here. Video cameras are installed everywhere. Terminals are also currently being installed that allow you to quickly contact law enforcement officers. As a result, a high speed of response to any incidents is ensured. Therefore, it is not surprising that Armavir is included in the list, which includes the safest cities in Russia. Mostly small fights take place here, but they quickly stop. This also indicates that active campaigning is being carried out among the population to prevent criminal acts.

Fifth place - Murmansk

Murmansk is in the middle of the list of the safest cities in Russia. In the nineties, when crime flourished in other settlements, it was called by visitors and local residents only as a “city of opportunities”. Here you can easily and quickly earn a large amount of money. However, the probability of capital loss was alsopretty high. This served as an incentive to search for more profitable niches instead of a loud showdown and division of territory. Basically, the disorder in the city is caused by the children of high-ranking officials. They sometimes allow themselves to violate the current legislation, but this happens quite rarely. As a rule, they do not cause any harm to people's life and he alth, but the Murmansk media love to publicize these incidents.

Fourth place - Sochi

Thanks to the Olympic Games, peace and order reign in the city. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is included in the list of "The safest cities in Russia." His rating is pretty high. Especially when you consider that in the nineties the crime rate was as high as in the cities that ranked first in the ranking of the most dangerous cities for living in modern Russia. Law enforcement agencies have carried out serious work to eliminate crime here, so as not to disgrace themselves before the whole world and create a favorable impression of the resort for both tourists and athletes. There are practically no people left without a fixed place of residence in Sochi. Law enforcement officers provide order to this day in order to increase the influx of tourists to this small town.

Third place - Saransk

Saransk is in last place in the top three in the list highlighting the safest cities in Russia. localThe police work quite efficiently and promptly respond to any call. This is due to the fact that law enforcement agencies closely cooperate with the police of other countries. Most of the groups that existed in the city in the nineties destroyed themselves in the internecine struggle. The rest felt the collapse of their activities and went into the shadow sector. Saransk is located on the route of drug supplies to the country, but despite this, the goods are quickly detected by customs officers. The local population is not interested in drugs, 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 of the safest cities in Russia. There are elements of the underworld here, but they avoid manifestations of any violence. Basically, they concentrate their forces on the implementation of various kinds of financial fraud with real estate. Law enforcement agencies are actively fighting 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 streets at night, since the main share of conflicts is related to clarifying domestic issues on the background of alcohol intoxication.

First place - Grozny

According to the results of the survey, Grozny was recognized as the safest city in the Russian Federation. This is due to the fact that the president of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, has carried out operationalanti-terrorism measures. The streets of the city are constantly patrolled, so any attempts at terrorist attacks are suppressed 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 is Grozny that crowns the top of the safest cities in Russia in 2016. Similar surveys were conducted before, and their results were 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 ways, the security of 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 Safe City program, which will greatly improve the existing security systems.
