Yoshkar-Ola is pretty safe for both locals and foreigners. There's a lot of international students here (mostly Indians, African students, Chinese), I've never heard of any complaints about safety in this city.

Russia, the world’s largest country, stretches across eastern Europe and northern Asia, embellished by eleven time zones and a wide range of environments and landscapes. From the frozen tundra of Siberia and the icy waters of Lake Baikal to the sunny beaches of the Black Sea coast, Russia is known for its diverse, untouched wilderness. The country is also famed for its rich history and culture, featuring monumental sites such as Moscow's Kremlin and St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum. In addition, Russia is home to renowned ballet performances, intricate Matryoshka dolls, vibrant festivals like the Maslenitsa, and, notably, the world-famous vodka. Its iconic Trans-Siberian Railway traverses the vast terrains, providing a unique way to experience its breathtaking landscapes.
