I am going to Russia next summer for flthe football World Cup.

I would like to take my drone with me to Russia. I worry that the police or the airport security could confiscate my drone when I enter Russia or when I leave.

Are drones forbidden in Russia?

Drones are generally allowed in Russia.

However they are going to be prohibited at the World Cup 2018 venues. If that's the purpose, don't take yours along.

The code of conduct states that drones are not allowed in the stadiums, and that makes total sense. From what I gather the normal drone rules apply: do not fly over crowded areas or other restricted areas like the Kremlin and near airports.
