Yes there are areas with high crime but those areas have next to no effect elsewhere. It's likely the same in your beloved Moscow. I'm sure there are nice areas with newer block buildings and new carpet on the walls and shitty areas with older block buildings and stained carpet walls.

Also another diffrence is most crimes in the US are reported, unlike your beloved Russia for example.
