student safety in St Petersburg

[Dustin Hosseini]

Interesting how this survey only focuses on the African community in Moscow,
but no others.  The comment about fear of the police/officials can be
applied to everyone that lives in Russia - you don't have to be of a
particular group to fear the police.  Ask most any Russian, American,
Filipino, etc. living in Moscow or St. Pete, and I'm sure that more than
half will tell you to avoid the police at any rate.  

Drawing on what Paul described, and the way I interpret it is this - is the
problem a matter of race or of simply being a foreigner, or both?   Here's a
question people seem to avoid.
