My impression is that it is worthwhile warning people that Uman is no longer safe. It took some time for the terror instilled by the USSR wear off. But since the thaw, the real traits of the local population have been rising to the surface. There are still people around with Russian ancestry, but the basic population has some really evil, violent traits embedded in their DNA.

A better way to say this is ונשמרתם לנפשותיכם "guard your souls" which is a verse in Deuteronomy that refers to the idea that one is supposed to guard one's own life and health and not do things which put himself or herself in danger.
[The Na Nach group has been saying this for a long time.]
There is no question in my mind that it is forbidden to go there nowadays since it is a place of danger.
