  • In this video, I interviewed a few Africans living in Saint Petersburg and asked them to tell me what it feels to be black in modern Russia.

    This is beautiful RESPECT to Russia 🇷🇺 for that! We as a whole in America are treated horribly. This place is ghetto and many of us want to just leave in peace but there is never peace for us. Russia has a GREAT LEADER PUTTIN💜

    WOW, this is so interesting to watch. I'm a British guy who has a mom from Russia and found myself back to Russia. I'm glad that most people have a good experience in my country, although i'm very saddened and disgusted that some people are still experiencing racism.

      I'm from Brazil dude.. we're a highly mixed population and racism is very common here.
      I found myself very glad knowing that fellow black men and women are having a good time/life in Russia: a country that I admire wholeheartedly.
      Cheers.

    I love this video.From my experience so far,living in st Petersburg,Moscow and may be Tyumen is almost similar to life in in even Germany and the united kingdom.The problem with Russia is very high inequality.Forexample, the standard of living/wages in Moscow is more than 5x higher in all other(except st Petersburg and Tyumen) cities in the country.Ofcourse, Russia is not economically excellent like Canada or the united States,I believe life in the country(esp Moscow and st Petersburg) is okay.

      Eddie Joe unfortunately, it’s always been a problem in Russian. During soviet era there was “Moscow residency privilege,” people from Moscow thought of other Russians as foreigners.

    Well 1:49 is right ,Rasism exist everywhere and not only for black people for everyone Asian brown and even white people cuz rasism is not only about skin color but about everything even the way you speak. .But in Russia people are more curious about black people than rasists.

    This is good to see. I know that the USA used to try to keep the fact of racial injustice toward black people quiet because European countries, especially the USSR, would use it against them to show that the USA was hypocritical about being a democratic society when in fact blacks were discriminated against and it was sanctioned by the government. The government in the USSR wanted to show that they were better than the USA and denounced racism. Things might be ok for black people there right now but if the population of black people gets very large there may be some problems.

    • @theawesomeduo54
      @theawesomeduo54 3 года назад +1

    Russia is a multinational, multi-confessional country. If black people constantly annoy everyone with their favorite topic of rosism, then in Russia you can most likely awaken racism. Russia is a patient country, tired of shocks. But everything can change in one moment.

      Exactly! I don‘t like brainwashed victims. They should keep a low profile and just go with the flow. They are nothing special. Just normal people with different skin color and heritage. Nobody gives a 💩 about their slavery complex. Russia didn‘t enslave Africa or any black people.
