I want to visit Russia soon. Have a lot of different locations in mind, but one thing is holding me back:
I'm an American
Will people in Russia treat me poorly because I don't speak the language? (I can read it, but don't know some words)
I'm not a stereotypical American, by a long shot; no one would know until I opened my mouth.
How 'safe' would I be, trying to interact with people? I don't wanna piss anyone off
Nothing will happen, unless you will greet them with Nazi salute.
Though absence of language skills can be a problem... So, it's better to contact somebody who would be able to provide you a proper assistance.
