If your new friends, tipsy locals, happen to invite you for a stroll in the old city park, make sure they do not leave you there!
"A tipsy and lonely foreigner in the park? Well, that's too much! He should be taught a lesson!"

Do you need to be mugged?
Don't forget to take a torch and a mobile phone (to call a cab) with you. Although that would hardly be of any help.

Unique Suggestions: Have a local accompany you and don't forget a flashlight for a safer walk.
Have some local cab service numbers in your mobile phone address book just in case and be ready to order a cab by phone using some Russian...

The park is an old neglected place, although there is a high-end cafe there: Caesar cafe near the old city fountain and the old staircase with two lions.

Take a look at my pictures of those paths in the old city park and tell me if you are ready to explore them by night... I wouldn't take a risk. Therefore I say it is much better to pay a visit there in the daytime...
Fun Alternatives: Walk in the city park in the daytime and explore its lanes and paths.
