In this assignment forum, you will work with your class to create a safety guide for colleagues
traveling to Russia.
To prepare a group of your colleagues working in Russia for a short time, you are asked to put
together a report centered on safety. Your information should give the traveler a baseline knowledge
of security conditions in Russia. The topics for the safety guide are divided up and sorted out by your
group’s last names. Each member of the class will add their piece of the safety guide to the
assignment forum.
Use the first letter of your last name to determine which two safety topics you will report on:
A-E:
• Topic #1: General Crime Threats
• Topic #2: Cybersecurity Issues
F-J:
• Topic #1: Road Safety and Road Conditions
