safe to travel by Russian trains

I have heard rumors that Western passengers are being taken advantage of on Russian trains and in some cases even have their items stolen. Is it safe to travel by Russian trains ?

I don't think so... it is necessarily to look after your belongings!

And be careful of drunk people.. It's traditional russian "fun" to drink in long-dinstance trains.

I have heard that russian goverment made contract with Siemens and bought several express-trains... They plan use it on Moscow-St. Petersburg way. But I don't know when it would be ready... Hope during 21th century :)
