Moscow as as safe as, if not safer than, any big European city. Don't do stupid things you wouldn't do at home and no harm will come to you. This is not "Murrica", so don't worry about "good" and "bad" neighbourhoods or gang crime.

Came home yesterday after 5 days in Moscow. Found the city to be as safe as any other big European capital - Paris, London, etc. Lots of police everywhere (полиция - "politsiya" in Russian). I did spot some pickpockets near the Kremlin/Red Square, but the same can be said about the area near Eiffel Tower in Paris.
By taking the normal precautions anyone will be fine.
