I travelled to Vladivostok last November by myself. I wandered around the streets alone for 4 days with no real problem, even very late at night. It was a bit scary I have to admit, but that was mainly because I'm not used to having people drink on the streets and also not having anyone around who spoke english haha. BUT I have fair skin and blue eyes so blended into the Vlad population very well. I also dressed like a Russian. So if you are afraid just try and blend in and people won't notice you so much.
