What I should have stressed after seeing your “Where you would like to go list” is that many places are private residence and businesses. Therefore, to go to an area (outside the normal tourist sites) and just roam around is not advisable. I have been stopped and semi-detained repeatedly by army personally, police, building/site security guards and local mafia when taking pictures and video outside the normal tourist areas. Fortunately (9-10 times) my wife is with me (she was born and raised in Volgograd) and I carry a portfolio of letters from sponsor museums, newspaper articles, samples of my work and research which typically smoothes things over.
