IS Russia safe

I have just been on LBC Radio the reason why was that a Youth Band from London were to visit Moscow in August and asked peoples opinion on whether it is safe to go. My answer was YES I have been travelling to Russia since the late 1980’s participating, coaching in Russian Sambo in later years as President British Sambo Federation. In that time I have never met any hostility from Russian Samboist or Russian people in fact I felt safer in Moscow and St Petersburg then in London. In the Soviet Union Days things were somewhat restricted but since Russia has become a Democratic Country there has been a massive change, I have never been restricted where I went in fact Russia is not a lot different to other Western Countries accept they have less crime and are restrictive who enters the country which is not a problem for the genuine traveller.

The present situation could affect the travel arrangements of the British Team and could restrict Russian Players competing in the President Cup to be held in Northern Ireland in September. I like most people in the country including the Government do not really know who planted the Gas to injure the Russian Traitors. Yet I find it difficult to believe that if Putin wanted to Kill these people he would have been more subtle and more efficient. One thing is for sure we will never find out the truth If Putin done it, which I doubt he will never admit to it and May, is wrong she will never admit to it. So the Anti Russian Rhetoric will continue putting us at the very least in a Cold War at worst a real war and for What? The unsuccessful murder of Two Russian Traitors, could the real reason be to take our eye of Brexit? Or am I stretching that to far maybe but no bigger stretch then to accuse Putin with out substantial proof just conjecture
