These prices are great however what's everyone on here saying about being afraid to go to Russia? Is that because of US relations? Would I be safer if I went on my cuban passport rather than an American one?

I see the propaganda machine is working nicely in the US. Yea, dude, if you come here with your American passport, Putin himself will fly to Kurgan with KGB agents by his side, he will find you and execute you with his deadly karate punch and then bury you right underneath the Scientific Center. Better get a new passport and don't forget to wear ushanka and drink a lot of vodka when you cross the Russian border, else you'll be instantly spotted by the FSB .
I asked a serious question and I got nothing but sarcasm about comments that I myself didn't make. How helpful exclide! Just so you know I was born in Cuba so I have a Cuban passport and if it makes my time any easier (even so much as going through the airport) to use that instead of my US passport then I'd like to know.

You'll be fine. Americans go on business to Russia all the time--it isn't N. Korea.

the situation is cknstantly changing and not for the better it appears.
My concern is what if i go over there and th US decides to arm the Ukraine? Then what? Who can say its gonna be ok?
Propaganda or not, these countries are at odds and I dont find it unreasonable to assume the political situation may affect me in some way.
The politicial situation is worse each day. I like this clinic, but I would be afraid of going there because these issues.
Besides, I also think that the height cap is annoying. Probably I wouldn't be taken by them, which I find very sad. Why do they accept a guy for going from 1.65 to 1.71 and don't accept a guy going from 1.66 to 1.71 or 1.67 to 1.71? I don't find it reasonable. In the late two cases it would be safer to lengthen.

It probably won't. It isn't the Cold War, after all. Yes, things are tense and getting tenser, but it's going to take a lot for both countries to start kicking out each others' citizens.

if America and Russia go to nuclear war, you think you can survive in America? Russia has maneuvering nuclear missiles which can evade ABM systems, has nuclear submarines that are pretty advanced, many Tu bombers, anti-stealth capabilities (forget the B-2 bomber), etc.
that being said, it is as safe in Russia as in America. If there is any comfort, there is a anti-ballistic missile system around Moscow and probably some other parts (I think it is the s300 and s400 system with an ABM radar); furthermore kurgan is so far from Moscow and Ukraine!
of course, the story is different if you are from Europe (but Russia can take out Europe anytime)
who is to say that Moscow or Kurgan or even Volgograd will be affected by a conventional war?
anyone who wages conventional war in Russia, is stupid. PUtin possibly has Asperger's and any slight provocation might mean nuclear war.
Russia's military (conventional) is not very good now, so at a hint of direct confrontation, they have said they will use nuclear weapons (they released this protocol recently); any country which wants to play with doom, should play with Russia.
If ur in Europe maybe ur safer, but Russian Iskander (and possibly nuclear-tipped)missiles are aimed at key NATO installations.
Russia's crisis is extremely grave, not only for the country itself, but for the rest of the European Union. There are geopolitical risks associated with what has happened in Ukraine and what is still happening, and this could affect our future prospects of LL in Russia. I would have chosen Russia if this had not happened, because they are the most experienced in externals.

I agree, bro. So scary!
