Russia offers a rich tapestry of cultural and natural attractions that make it an intriguing destination for some of Turkmenistan's 6 million residents. While it attracts around 6.4 million foreign visitors each year, its appeal lies in the diversity of experiences available rather than just the number of tourists.
Russia presents certain safety concerns for tourists from Turkmenistan. According to safety rankings, Russia is 30th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In terms of overall safety, the Global Peace Index ranks Russia 154th out of 160 countries, compared to Turkmenistan's 80th position, indicating that Turkmenistan is considered safer. Murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Turkmenistan having a murder rate of 4.2 per 100,000 people, while Russia's rate is higher at 6.8. Additionally, organized crime indices suggest that Russia faces significant challenges, with higher scores in various crime categories compared to Turkmenistan. Overall, while many tourists visit Russia, it is advisable for those coming from Turkmenistan to remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings and local conditions.
