1. I was also robbed, but I was robbed in Russia. 2. I was chased home to my hotel, but since I run fast, I escaped a beating.
3. I have also been pockpocketed in Mongolia last year.

I was robbed leaving the subway at 8pm at night, 3 guys jumped me, but they didnt hurt me and all they got was my mobile phone. I speak great Russian, but they are drunks and not friendly so, they just want to rob. Young men with nothing better to do. No one helped me or stepped in. The police were quite a distance away, so they had no clue. The city is too big, so we couldnt find them.

No, I wouldnt leave the country because I was afraid, but I wouldnt walk home alone at night, no men are that brave, not even the people who have lived there all their lives. If you must walk home alone, then carry a large knife and pepper gas, they are legal to have in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Georgia.

Best thing to do is not to walk home alone, that is when you become an easy target.
