Step 1
You can call the police from a landline phone in any city of the Russian Federation at 02. Please note that in some localities that have switched to digital PBXs, the number 102 is used.
Step 2
Try to call the police using a GSM cell phone at 112. You can make this call from a SIM card of all operators, even if it is blocked or has a negative balance. Some modern phone models allow making emergency calls even without a card.
