>I will be hard in your country
That's pretty hot.
I heard about a large number of criminals in the city. it's true?
I'm Belorussian diaspora in New York
Belorussian mafia?

Nope, just diaspora
If you come to NYC go to Brighton Beach if you intend on working, lots of Russians here (in fact most signs are in cyrillic as well as English). You'll be able to find work probably. Don't know if you played Grand Theft Auto 4 but the beginning part with "Hove Beach" is supposed to be Brighton Beach

Not nearly as bad as it used to be here in NYC. Ray Kelly really cleaned it up, though crime is on the rise now that Bill Fatton is our police commissioner

Yes, it's very true. It's a global hot spot for criminals.
In fact, it's one of the two hottest cities in the world for financial criminals, along with the city of London. These guys don't go for small stuff, they steal billions of dollars at a time.

Yes, it's true, there are all kinds of scammers in NYC that prey on people like you. For example
* if you come to NY with a few thousands dollars in cash that you privatized" back in Russia, and you start looking for a way to "invest" this money at high yield - it is very likely that you will never see your money again.
* likewise, if you "represent" some Russian organizarion, and are trying to "develop business contacts", you are very likely to be cheated and ripped off.
But it sounds like the above 2 don't apply to you
* if you take a cab from JFK airport to the city, the cab driver is very likely to take you on a very long drive around the city and demand lots of money. The best way to prevent that is to take our excellent mass transit (a train or a bus) - no one really needs taxis.
* there are tons of pickpockets. The problem is probably worse than in Russia. Watch out for people trying to steal your wallet or phone from your pocket. Hide your stuff.
* it's less likely that someone will point a gun at your or hit you over the head with a pipe in order to steal your wallet/jewelry. It's also unlikely that someone will want to steal your luggage, probably full of stuff with zero resale value. But happens too.
