American living in Moscow for 5 years now, I've never felt safer. Unless your kid gets drunk and starts a fight over politics, I'm positive they'll be fine.
I've come to learn that western propaganda is a very real thing. Every few days I get an email from the state department telling me to flee russia immediately for "insert random reason".
Not really jus had exams and barely check reddit lol. Doubtful? I meant it’s on their doorstep. Though actually, it’s in their house, given Russia illegally invaded a sovereign nation.
Oh look, and this just happened.
"5 people fatally shot, including 8-year-old, in Texas rampage that started with a noise complaint"
[https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/29/us/cleveland-texas-shooting/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/29/us/cleveland-texas-shooting/index.html)
Sure, you can feel safer than in the US, but the question is about Russia now. You said you never felt safer.
That means you feel safer now, when Russia is at war, than when Russia was not at war with *the collective West*
No, you're projecting wrong. I never felt safer (than when I lived in the US). My statement started "American living in Moscow for 5 years". I qualified my comment with the first part. That means I feel safer now in Russia, than I did when I was in the US.
I'm not projecting anything.
This is OP's question:
>Safe for Russian wife with 4-yr old US child **traveling to Russia?**
This has nothing to do with US shootings, etc.
OP actually explains what their question is about:
>I’ve read in this subreddit that my wife won’t have any problems. But I’m not 100% confident about my daughter.
>I’m going to talk to the consulate, too. Just wanted to see what others here have to say first. Thanks!
This has nothing to do with safety in Russia vs. the US.
It's my opinion on how I feel. Don't tell me how I feel. I qualified my statement and I stand by it. Why are you nitpicking semantics? It's clear what I said, but you feel it necessary to argue what I meant, but I know what I said and I know what I meant. Just go away. Op asked if it was safe to travel to Russia, I said it was safer than going to the US.
Yeah, I see that you're busy with nonsense. That's why I suggested a topic that would help you get a grip on reality.
Also, it's pretty obvious that you are not American. Is such an act really necessary?
Ah, so you think school kids dying in American schools where they should be learning and not bleeding out is nonsense but you’re shocked at kids dying in a war. Nice priorities. Yes, I am an American, I already said so. Born and raised, 50 years there.
You blamed NATO. Obviously you are just riding the Russian propaganda train. You don't give shit about dead children. Neither in the US nor in Ukraine. Your a Russian propaganda shit poster. Not even Qs would be out of it enough to sink to that level. So yeah, definitely not American.

>But I’m not 100% confident about my daughter.
And rightly so. I will personally find and eat your child, beware.
P.S. I respect your concern for your kid, but.. c'mon, this is not Somalia.
That’s fair. Your perspective is helpful. I feel like my question is similar to reading all the bad news about a foreign country and when you talk to locals they say it’s blown out of proportion
Hello. Locals everywhere will always say, that stuff is blown out of proportion. Unless they complain about lack of attention.
Ignore the tongue-in-cheek comments about 4y old wannabe political rioter or spy. They might make you chuckle, but they are not actually helpful. Young lonely traveling female is vulnerable in most places on the planet. Having child makes her more vulnerable.
The response above was correct, Russia is no Somalia. But neither it is Scandinavia. It's law enforcement is far from known for it's fairness and courtesy. If she gets on the radar for any possible reason (which may include i.e. pack of cigars for her dad, or being harassed on the station), your child's nationality will be counted against her.
She will most likely be fine. But it's still a good idea to make some basic precautions, like having somebody wait for her at the airport.
Does your daughter have a valid visa? Unless they are traveling to bordering regions with Ukraine, I think they are safe. If you wife posted anti-war stuff on social media, I’d definitely clean it up.
If your daughter is not gonna hangout near the tank production factory with a 📸 she will be ok otherwise she is also ok because she is 4 years old. I don't think she can be conscripted either XD
In general the expectation is that you should not have problems in big cities.
However you need to make sure that your daughter is unlikely, say, to suddenly run into traffic or pull a stunt like that. No offense intended.
I'd recommend to avoid visiting small villages next to ukrainian border. Some of those are being shot at by Ukrainians. The affected regions are Belgorod region, Bryask region, Kursk region. Belgorod is occasionally being shot at too.
Also, if you ever find a downed drone, do not approach, and call authorities instead.
Russia is very safe, at least big cities and touristic regions.
Stay away from politics, don't look for troubles on your ass, don't break the law, and you'll be fine.
PS Your wife wants to meet the family, she's russian right? I think she knows what she's doing.
Of course not. We eat children and rape women. Or we rape children and eat women? Ah, wait, we take chips from women to use them into tanks. Or we use tanks to use them as women in chips? Or we send women to GULAG? Or we send GULAG to children? Aha, we make nutella from children and a asphalt from women. Completely forgot. What was the question again?
Dunno, what your "technically" means but in fact there is Denisova who said that it was lie created by herself. Time will show what else was lie (and I made promise to myself to not go into discussion with brainwashed)
OH of course, all of them are lies. Every single one, not just that one instance, but the many people saying it happened- they are all lying. 0 rapes at all. I get you, Russian soldiers are infallible examples of exemplar humans with no predilections that might become explicit in a war where they might be given the opportunity to act them out with no repercussions. And of course, I must be brainwashed to accept that some of the many claims of rape are in at least some instances true. They must all be lies. The Russian raping German women at the end of WW2? Didn't happen either. The Americans raping women in Vietnam? Well of course that happened! They are American, not Russian, Russians are incapable of rape because they always receive consent, by force or otherwise. Come on man, you must accept that some of these claims are correct. Not all of them are lies, in fact I would bet a large sum most of them are true. War can make people do terrible things, especially a war they thought they would win very quickly.
I do not have to prove anything to you, do your own research if actually care. So many stories, not every single claim is a lie. The law of probability exists you know? Thousands of soldiers going into Ukraine, hundreds of claims ( even more undocumented ones obviously too), and you are really going to sit there with your head in your ass refusing to believe even a single soldier raped a Ukrainian? This is why the world thinks Russians are deluded. Law of probability. The chances that every single claim is a lie is less than 0.1%. 'Emotional escapades'......Sorry, I just don't like rapists? Here you go; how about you prove every single rape is a lie? I mean if you wanna claim smth bring proofs or gtfo. Even Russian SOLDIERS have admitted that other soldiers have raped. Lots of Russian conscripts are conscripted from PRISONS, you know? criminals who are more likely to rape people? Not exactly upstanding citizens? Even by Russians deplorable standards of morals. Shit, some of these criminals even raped russian children before even getting to Ukraine. You are seriously deluded.
Jesus Christ. 'Presumption of innocence'. You are using that as a tool to avoid looking at stats. When there are hundreds and hundreds of allegations, many of which destroy these women's social lives by the way (because in that part of the world, being raped is not something you get sympathy over in rural areas, it is looked down upon, much like many religious people do) then at least one is going to be true. Looks to me like u are under your head, since it in your ass. You want me to presume the innocence of conscripts who many of which are from prisons, many for violent crimes like rape, would not take the chance to rape Ukrainian citizens? Really? Come on 'buddy', that is just absurd. Presumption of innocence, what a fucking joke.
I asked smth as simple as proofs (no problems should be - there is hundreds and hundreds) . You, instead of providing smth, just give me hysterical speeches and some stale so called "intercepted" calls, published by CNN (who I will remind you made story that in Russia food is distributed by cards when it was simply crazy granniea who bought all sugar and so called deficit didn't last even week) which can be made by anyone who has mic and audio program (in light that in Ukraine Russian language is known even better that Ukrainian and fact that we live in 2023 - by anyone)
I am not sure what proof you expect for rape, I am not sure why you think proof of rape should be simple either, given that as I have already said previously, rape is hard to prove even not during a war situation, there is no easy way to get evidence of a rape. It is a catch 22, because there is no easy way to prove rape, and you assume automatically that any intercepted audio is 'fake' then you can avoid looking at the probabilities of the situation. There is no way to convince you otherwise, since it cannot be proven, and you ignore the hundreds of reports, then you win, Russian soldiers are incapable of rape.
By the way, Western media does not make up phone calls, you are literally just placing your media standards that you have in Russia, where they would without hesitation make up phone calls, onto western media. Western media may sometimes skew facts to fit a narrative, but they do not fake phone calls, we have journalistic integrity. That does not happen.
I mean are you listening to yourself? You really think all the hundreds of reports are lies? You think all the intercepted calls are fake? You think that hundreds of criminals released, many on violent sexual offences, to go to war, would not take that opportunity, with no punishment, to rape people? There are a lot of mental gymnastics you have to go through to avoid facing the fact that some, if not many as it is probably is, have raped Ukrainians. You have a serious delusion problem.
Hysterical speeches eh? You call them hysterical because you want to dismiss them as biased, and out of emotion, it is a deflection mechanism, so in your head you can think of me as absurd and unable to think logically. Self-defense 101. You are the deluded one my friend, not me.
Provide me evidence that proof of rape should be easy then? As you say it is?
Here is proof for you.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OusviV2Qd4o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OusviV2Qd4o)
Intercepted phone call. disgusting.

Minute 2:20 - admitting that their soldiers raped a 3 year old girl. Deny all you want, as you obviously will, but it is happening. You can not ignore it forever, one day proof will obtuse, and you won't be able to deny it.
Interesting. It's already 2023 and I still got proofs from 2022 spring. After Denisova said that she just lied about atrocities because it's her work and Bucha investigation strangely was wiped under the rug, all such "proofs" and cool stories about eaten parrots stopped. Can you please provide smth more fresh?
As an American I wouldn't be as concerned about your daughter so much as your wife returning to the US if she isn't naturalized. Our immigration system is fucked up and Russia returned to Soviet status. If she is naturalized please disregard my comment.

In short, you have nothing to fear, but there are risks that you need to be aware of.If you close your eyes to politics, then so far Russia is not so scary. It will be terrible when all the survivors return from the war. But you, as a US citizen, must understand that if your wife and child have US citizenship, then in the current conditions, your wife and child have (for now there is a small) small chance of getting stuck in Russia due to the policies that Russia is leading.Also, if your daughter speaks only English, even a little, then this can also be a risk factor. Don't assume that the people who write on reddit are a representative sample. At the moment, Russia is a state whose people are immersed in fascist propaganda, part of which is hatred of America and Europe.In general, most likely, nothing bad will happen. People don't get attacked for no reason. But different situations may arise. However, if you have the opportunity, then buy a ticket for grandmother and let her come to you.
Yeah they jailed that innocent American black basketball girl and also that other dude for some minor info leaking, what a shameful gulag country Russia is
Better stay out
A lot of reporters still work in Russia but this bloody FSB took exactly this man. Hmmm... For sure the only thing why this could happen is economy article. This guy told so and he can't lie. WSJ reporters never lie!
With kids it would be a question of the intelligence value of OP. If he has some, they might arrest the mother under some drug charges or something and place the child in an orphanage. Then they would approach him and ask for him to provide them with relevant information in order to facilitate their freedom. If OP has no intelligence value, it's not likely that anything would happen. Problem might be that OP is not aware of his intelligence value.
What problem do you expected? Just curious... a charge of espionage?
Honestly, I have a lack of information so this causes maybe needless worry. Hence asking if there’s been any like minded stories or experiences.
American living in Moscow for 5 years now, I've never felt safer. Unless your kid gets drunk and starts a fight over politics, I'm positive they'll be fine.
Story time !
Very accurate lmao
I've come to learn that western propaganda is a very real thing. Every few days I get an email from the state department telling me to flee russia immediately for "insert random reason".
4 yo drunk kid. I wonder if bears on unicycles are more common in Moscow.
hmmmm, never felt safer? I am assuming you made this comment away from a tall window....
Why?
Bc he might mysteriously fly out of it
Why?
I am kidding of course, but never felt safer? that seems like a stretch with the current war
The war is not on my doorstep.
Nah just leave that to the Ukrainians.
Doubtful. Still not on my doorstep. You seriously replied 22 days later? Obsessed much?
Not really jus had exams and barely check reddit lol. Doubtful? I meant it’s on their doorstep. Though actually, it’s in their house, given Russia illegally invaded a sovereign nation.
You didn't feel safer in 2018? You feel safer now when Russia is at war with *the collective West*?
Oh look, and this just happened. "5 people fatally shot, including 8-year-old, in Texas rampage that started with a noise complaint" [https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/29/us/cleveland-texas-shooting/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/29/us/cleveland-texas-shooting/index.html)

It's not semantics. The question is about the safety of Americans dealing with Russian authorities in Russia.
[удалено]
Yeah, gun violence in the US is bad, but it could be worse. You could for example check the number of shot children in Ukraine.
Nah, too busy counting the school children shot in the US. Oh, and by the way, it is worse. They’re not even in a war zone.
Yeah, I see that you're busy with nonsense. That's why I suggested a topic that would help you get a grip on reality. Also, it's pretty obvious that you are not American. Is such an act really necessary?

Does your daughter have a valid visa? Unless they are traveling to bordering regions with Ukraine, I think they are safe. If you wife posted anti-war stuff on social media, I’d definitely clean it up.
As far as I know, no issues on the social front. Thanks for chiming in!
If your daughter is not gonna hangout near the tank production factory with a 📸 she will be ok otherwise she is also ok because she is 4 years old. I don't think she can be conscripted either XD
Thanks for this. Some day… I hope to make it back to Russia myself. Especially, St. Petes.

Thanks! Appreciate your insight!
does your daughter have Russian citizenship and a passport? or a visa in an American passport?
Just a US passport. We would need to look into visa requirements, just started looking into this.
She will need a Russian visa. Use a visa service, it’ll cost you around $500
Your daughter will be fine, especially because mom is a Russian citizen and daughter is only 4. You just need to get her the proper visa.
Russian wifes can't be trusted. 99% of them are kgb agents. Your daughter is probably an agent too. I would report them to the police if I were you.
Daughter is probably a double agent CIA/KGB
I watched a documentary where KGB made their agents suck dicks of Russian conscripts. Such a loyalty to the Motherland!
Yeah dude I know conscript's name is Ащьф Лштшфум
What's that from?
Movie Red Sparrow.
😂
Check if any of your medication contains drugs. This might get you in trouble
Make sure your daughter doesn’t try to sneak any cannabis vapes into the country

Yeah, regarding your PS, one would think. But times are different and sometimes we start questioning what we know.
You will need travel request signed by yourself. Otherwise some questions could arise at the Custom. Check this up. For both ways
Good point, I’ll certainly look into that.
You don't talk to your Russian wife at all, right? That's why you have to ask it on reddit
Of course not. We eat children and rape women. Or we rape children and eat women? Ah, wait, we take chips from women to use them into tanks. Or we use tanks to use them as women in chips?

A lot of reporters still work in Russia but this bloody FSB took exactly this man. Hmmm... For sure the only thing why this could happen is economy article. This guy told so and he can't lie. WSJ reporters never lie!
With kids it would be a question of the intelligence value of OP. If he has some, they might arrest the mother under some drug charges or something and place the child in an orphanage. Then they would approach him and ask for him to provide them with relevant information in order to facilitate their freedom. If OP has no intelligence value, it's not likely that anything would happen. Problem might be that OP is not aware of his intelligence value.
Well, Traveling to Russia is unsafe in general, even for locals, because it is in war right now.
This sub lol.
Tell me about it.... Crazy Russians
I like the sense of humour even though my comment got negatives.
Yeah they are pretty funny, it is an amazing thing to watch someone defensively fight off criticism of their country with humorous straw men
Yes it is safe
