Police and Crime in Russia

A Russian just told me that the statistics which report increase are fake and that there is an increasing problem.
That now you don't see any kids in the roads and that the situation declined steadily since 2008.
That you can't find nurseries for the kids and that most people don't rent houses to families with kids!
He also said that the last census was a joke and that he himself registered twice and that the total population was with the immigrants which by themselves are 7-10 million.
I know he is a retard and I certainly don't trust him but I raise the question here. Can this be true?

No and i would highly doubt that just because an alledged "russian" tells you something that it has any truth in it. Liars are everywhere and so far even independend numbers show the opposite of what that guy claimed.

Just interested where did you get this guy, sounds like some guy i seen on other forums who claimed to be russian, speaks fluently russian but is most problably estonian which enough factors indicated that thing, he also made lot of lies and supports lies that are hurting russia or russian image. People often like and try to address the problems that have been caused by Yeltzin and Gorbachov as Putins fault, like homeless increased, or in 90s were Yeltzin has granted USA and UK oil companies the Partner Sharing Aggreement were Russia itself did not get a single Dollar of all russian oil that was exported to UK/US, and some stupid stories of "millions" (recognize he meant plural) genocided chechenian civilists by "putins" order.

MOSCOW, Oct. 17 - RIA Novosti. Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate for Combating Extremism of the Interior Ministry Vladimir Makarov reported on the reduction of the "most working units" in the department that deal with the fight against crime.

"We work honestly, we are not corrupt, the guys are working on enthusiasm, and now they decided to reduce us," Makarov said at a meeting of the HRC "Public Participation in Countering Extremism and Terrorism."

According to him, currently about three thousand people are engaged in the fight against extremism in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as a small administration in the prosecutor's office and the FSB.

Makarov noted that by small forces law enforcement officers were able for almost 10 years to prevent the radicalization of society, to crush the wave of violent crime.

That doesn't make sense, since these units were merged with the National Guard and are fighting extremism, and they are getting a higher budget than the military at 1.2T rubles.

These are the regular police forces. The old MVD (Ministry of Interior) was divided into the Police and the National Guard.

your telling me regular police force is 3,000 people? What?

Even statistics show there are more police officers per capita in Russia than any other country. Unless there is a lot of information being left out.

Read post #66 above, the police would be 872,000 less the 340,000 transferred to the National Guard = 532,000. Of this the CID (detective or plainclothes force) numbers 48,000. The anti-extremist or terrorist branch would have 3,000 policemen (plainclothes). Apparently the detective force is facing cut-backs.

And just to clarify there are two more Investigative agencies, the FSB (security) and the Federal Investigative Committee (federal detective force like the FBI). The FSB would be like the NSA and Homeland Security combined.

New MVD authorized strength is 894,871. Reduction of ~10,000 staff apparently all from the Traffic Police (55,000 > 45,000)
