If you are a U.S. citizen in Russia, follow the U.S. Department of State guidance: depart Russia as soon as practicable and avoid reliance on U.S. government assistance.
Limit use of personal electronic devices and social media while in Russia assume communications may be monitored and store only what you need offline.
Expect localized transport delays and route changes—build extra time into plans and avoid areas where collisions or road closures are reported.
Follow instructions from local authorities in an emergency (shelter if ordered) and avoid protests, large gatherings, or areas with security operations.
Carry paper copies of essential documents and share your itinerary and emergency plan with a trusted contact outside Russia.
