Will I receive Social Security outside the U.S.?

Question

I recently retired and am receiving social security. If I move out of the U.S., will I still receive my SS checks?

Why not have your SS direct-deposited into a US bank and use that bank's debit card at a foreign ATM to get cash? Much easier and safe from prying eyes in your foreign home. — Guy Flaneur, Commented Sep 9, 2014 at 5:36

You can look at the Your Payments while Outside US from Social Security Administration.

On pages 12 and 13 of the booklet you can find the list of countries where you cannot receive the payments, which currently includes:

There are other conditions that are spelled out in that document as well.

Interestingly, this list contains most of the post-Soviet states, but not Russia.
