Considering Russian is not only spoken in Russia but also in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, what would be the safest country to travel to where you can speak Russian? Probably not Russia or Ukraine because of the war but yeah.

    @IHatePepRallies@discuss.online I'd vote for Kazakhstan although the country isn't completely Russian-speaking but there are no problems getting by.

    @IHatePepRallies@discuss.online Probably not Russia or Ukraine because of the war but yeah. It's safe in Russia. Safier than in US. But still do not as safe as in Belarus.

    Safe for whom? Also, speaking Russian might not be the most popular right now, depending on where you go.

    Depends. If you're queer, definitely not anywhere in the former USSR (except for some of the Baltics). If you're not queer, and speak a language of that region, probably that area is your best bet to blend in.

    According to the travel advisory, that would be Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan where you can all "exercise normal precautions".

    I've been in Georgia a few years after the 2008 war and it was as safe as it gets. Only the younger people either didn't speak or didn't want to speak Russian. After 2022 there was an influx of Russian expats to the country, so the chances of finding someone to talk to should be even higher.

    Besides Tbilisi Georgia is nice, calm and pleasant. Kazakhstan is mostly a shithole, but if you're not into interacting with people and enjoy flat steppes with endless views of nothing to the horizon, or beautiful mountains in the south, it's a nice and calm place too.

    Ah, you're talking about the anti-government protests which started a year ago after the pro-Russian party took power. That's a valid point, even though as far as I can see the protests have waned since then. The anniversary event this November was peaceful.

  • Practical sense has nothing to do with common courtesy. You dont have to study up until you speak Ukranian perfectly. You just have to make an effort to be a compassionate human being instead of a husk of a person.
