I have travelled quite a bit - but the safety thing in Russia is a bit concerning. Not in Moscow or St Pete. I am going to visit Rostov and then go to Taganrod. I am a fan of Checkhov and wantto see his home, museum, etc... I am told by a few friends that it's dangerous for a foreighner in this part of the country bcause of kidnappings? Does anyone have any first hand experience of safety or knowing of anything like this happening in this particular region? - DK

Taganrog is quite a small town, I think that you're likely to feel there extremely safe. As for Rostov ... just keep in mind that you're abroad, I think that there're not so many people speak nglish, so the best way for you is to create plan beforehand visiting Rostov and then just follow it.
