Fuck going to Russia. If the bored jobless fellas who train in gyms and stay sober just to be in top notch fighting spec do not get you, the coppers will. Unless you plan everything with military precision you may avoid being in or around a huge riot. Even then you take your chances just being in the area.
There were a few hundred last time away from Russia. All of those were funded by fuck knows who but my point is they didn't have the money, the main element of the hooligans that is. It was reported that many were serving members of the russian armed forces in some cases. Not just recruited thugs from footy clubs but trained military https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...to-russian-euro-2016-hooligans-vladimir-putin.
So it begs the question how many of them are there back in Russia and how many regular bored angry skinheads will just join in (they have a lot of these neo nazi types, a hell of a lot).
The only way this does not go very badly is if Putin has these thugs all well in check. He will not want his home country looking like backwards idiots. That is, they are under orders not to cause hassle unless ordered to. That is the only way i see it not going very bad for some poor buggers.
