I’m a black man, and I lived with, and around Russians for a couple of years. I found them to be very warm, humorous, and welcoming. I never experienced racism during my time with them. As a matter of fact, even as a kid, I had an older Russian woman who was kind enough to look after me, as a favor to my parents, while they were at work. We had the relationship of a grandmother to a grandson. I was about 6 when she died. I’m 51. I still think about her, and miss her to this very day.
Did you live in Russia aka the soviet union???
Good people come from everywhere. You were fortunate to be loved.
It is good you had a pleasant time in Russia. That just means they have evolved past the racial discrimination in their country. USA got them beat, but the U.S. is trying to move past it as well.

Do you know how to count or not? )) take away 51 years from 2023 and you will understand when the author of the head comment lived. Yes - it was the USSR in the 70s
Спасибо Вам, что храните эти тёплые воспоминания.. наши бабушки были самые добрые и заботливые 😥Thank you for keeping these warm memories 🤗
I am a black woman who had worked with two Russian ladies .
On some weekends we would go shopping together and I truly enjoyed their company. They would visit me and always bring me hot Russian homemade meals.
They became my best friends ever. I will never forget their loving kindness.

Last week i watched a black russian youtuber, he came to Russia to study medicine around 12 years ago. He experienced racism once, by a group he called skin heads. There was a encounter with police, the police protected him from the skin heads. He never had any issues after that. He finished his studies and became a doctor at a hospital in moscow. He loves russia and doesn't experience racism now.
XD the real is i see mass russians online and in real life insulting blacks and here ur throwing love comon fool ur self
Those Skin Heads
Moved to Russia from UK.
You will be penalized for any injustice towards Africans or African Americans in Russia. The black population in Russia is growing.I would love to live there but it gets beyond cold 🥶 I will just visit in their summer. It is on my bucket list.
Skinheads are Nazis, I'm sad that they were imprisoned
skinheads, there were in the 90s, because they did not engage in youth, they staggered from the yards, so they decided to create a direction like skinned, they fought not only with blacks, but they did not like anyone, but the government eradicated, now there are no skinheads in Russia
Actually skin head mostly them were Ukrainian
Yes, Russians are a loyal friends of Africa as orthodox Christians and a student in Russian university in late 1980s. As a black person never encountered discrimination.I have a deep fondness of Russia to this days.

Yeah the orthodox Christian’s there know Jesus is black so they not gonna be racist like so called Christian Americans who throw around a false white Jesus
Russians don't have to be christians either to treat black people fairly, and to be honest, most so-called orthodox christians in Russia are atheist who go to church with older family members who nag them if they don't. President Putin is supposedly very tied to the church and maybe he is, but other than old people and some of the outer outside villagers, most are atheist when you really talk to them. But as long as they treat people equally and right, which no real abrahamic religion does by the way, you can pray to your nose hair, that's fine by me.
Russians are good people❤❤
Russians also fought against South African apartheid while America funded the segregation in South Africa.
Totally agree to that. As a black South African man in mid 50s, Russia was instrumental in forcing the apartheid white regime to release Mandela from prison.. 🇿🇦
What happened when the "COLD WAR" ended? You have to look at whose interests were being served. Did the Soviet Union benefit from that relationship with oppressed African countries (then and now as Russia)?
The soviets not only fought against apartheid but supported freedom fighters with training, arms, and financial support. Viva Russia 🇷🇺
@@Argosy16 So what has that got to do with the topic at hand. Eventually it was the US and European pressure which forced the apartheid regime to change it's tune. If the US and the European countries had continued to support the racist SA regime today apartheid would have been thriving and ruling. But that doesn't make those Nations/countries angels!! Do you see difference?

I remember seing a real black African man in Leningrad's metro. I was 5 years old. The man looked Jet Black! My Dad and the African man were smiling and laughing at me, because my jaw literally dropped. Later, i realzed that this man had the warmest and kindest smile ever.
I was the same age when I first saw a black guy on one of the streets of Leningrad. I will always remember his facial features and his red T-shirt. He seemed so beautiful to me that I still consider blond Scandinavians, Kazakhs and blacks to be the most beautiful people in the world))) I also opened my mouth in surprise and my mother scolded me for such behavior, but the black guy just smiled at me as he passed by) And I, being then a simple child who likes everyone who smiles back at me, was very happy and then, for many years, I developed a reflex in myself - to smile every time I saw black people)))

We manage to get rid of colonialism in Africa because of Russia they help us
Those who were born in the USSR, and who believed in the ideology of communism, want to teach Africans not out of anger at that time and sent them back. History shows that the mass migration of groups with other cultures, languages and mentalities contributes to the formation of ghettos. And the local community never likes it, everywhere, in any country. The USSR wanted the countries oppressed by the West to be strong enough themselves, with our help, to be able to keep their populations in their countries. And only those who really fell in love with our country or with someone specific in our country stayed there..)
Personally, I believe that a person should be able to be useful to society and happy in his own country. And, if there is a need, after all, to leave, then you need to understand and accept the specifics of the country where you have arrived.. We have racists. And everyday racism too. But it is everywhere where there is no high-quality family education. It is impossible to impose this on the whole generation at once by laws and slogans. We need to set an example.. and the books described in this video actually showed our society what an oppressed state the peoples of Africa have been in for many years.. And how capitalism did not want to help them in any way, in order to stand on an equal footing with them, behind the West.. Because for the West, we are not equal. Russians for the most part consider everyone equal. But like many others, they are simply afraid of the strong influence of a different mentality and culture. These influences from other cultures should occur gradually. Naturally.
@@ElenaKozyreva Totally agree.
Pure lie
As a black man I’ve lived around Russians and they are respectful gentle people imo. They’ve been super friendly.

@@naapsuvaimne740 I don’t.

Dude not only are russians racist they are also not racist. Kinda like Kentucky. I’d say Moscow is about as racist as NYC. St P is probably equal to LA. The rest of russia is a mixed bag. Much like the US
Russia will always have my respect for not participating in slave trade and helping Africans break away from colonialism during up Soviet days
They did not help them from breaking from colonialism, you fool. Soviet Union ( not Russia ) and USA used Africa as a proxy playground.
I know for a fact that the majority and I do mean the majority of the Russian people hate black Africans and I do me black African
Russia was far from Africa and closer to Europe who they enslaved as well. Russia does not love Africa just because they helped Africans to fight off African enemies. They did so in their supremacist struggle with other European nations and America. They are just as subtle and BAD as their European neighbours. That's why I don't support their worldwide efforts. It is full of deception.
Absolutely
Well, technically, we participated in the colonization of Alaska, but not to say that the Indians felt it strongly. If we talk about Africa, then one particularly active team decided to establish a colony off the coast of Ethiopia, but the king quickly told them to stop
I have been living in Russia for the past 6 years. I am a graduate from the Izhvesk State Technical University and a prospective graduate in a master program this year. Since I have been in this country, I have never experienced harsh racism but a form of racism that they want me to stay with them and live happily. They always ask me if I have a job, if they can be a help in anyway.
Russians I have met for the past years are always concerned if am happy living among them. In my opinion, Russians are friendly. Russian men look serious, and women smile by appearance, but in general, they are very kind and welcoming. If a Russian tells you that he can do this or that for you, rest assured, it will be done ✅. They don't let people down.

Yeah most people who aren't "black" don't experience racism ❤
Liar tells us a lies for money in this video. Glad to see so many honest people in commentaries.
I spent 3 wonderful years working in Moscow and I never felt the sting of a racial slight. I was young and single at the time and the ladies were wonderful to me as well. The lame stream media wants us to dislike them but it's all propaganda.

Wish your experience mirrored everyone else's. A white friend of mine worked with a Russian woman once and described her as being incredibly racist, and for some perspective, he and I are South African. I think Russia is no different from anywhere else really, bigotry waves no national flag.

I'm Black in the UK, in the early 90'sI lived with Kenyans who studied in Russia, they said people would spit on them, later Russians came to live in the hostel we were living in & they were very nice people. Subsequently I have had many friends & GF's whom were Russian (& from other Eastern European countries), one thing I can say that is consistent is that, when you make a friend of people from Russia & Eastern Europe, they treat you like family & would never stand by if you're in hardship or in any trouble, I have a deep love & respect for them & they are so very cultured. Black NATO soldiers, when stationed in the Balkans are warned not to go off base...
There are many shortcomings in Russia, but racism is not one of them. If a person of a different skin color feels bad in Russia, then 90% of the white Russians around him will feel the same feeling. We have a word offended for people, such as "Negro", but this word does not put a bad or offensive meaning. In Russia, all of us, not rich people, are approximately equal. We feel equally good or bad. I love my multinational people, with all their advantages and disadvantages.
Maybe this is the link with Russia I was looking for as to why both America and Europe hates Russia ! Russia's humanity to black people disturbed them immensely.
What a foolish conclusion
Western racists always hated Russia.
@@franka2743Outside of the societal stigmas and pockets of racism. It would appear that the Russian leadership never institutionalized racism as America and Europe did. This makes Russia way more humane and it's easier to expand relationships on the continent.
While not saying you are wrong, I believe the main issue is that the West dislike any country not dancing to their tune. Russia is a strong and independent country, that has never been viewed favourably. The same could be said about Libya under Ghadaffi etc.
Usa and Europe doesn't hate Russia

My only true friend in Fresno was Anton. I still think about his Borscht. It was the Best. I would consider him a Great Friend. He authored a book on poetry after I wrote my novel. We could talk for hours on many subjects. Great hardworking honest man. He said life in Russia was much better under Soviets and I would have to agree.
I also had a work partner, Vadim, a Ukrainian who slipped and told me "there are no Blacks in Ukraine and if we see one we just shoot him." I never understood why Anton wouldn't shake his hand but after that comment I wouldn't either.
Do not consider racism an excuse, but I must assume: Poles are racists, Balts are racists, Ukrainians are racists, Jews are racists.. Racists are those who have been repeatedly attacked by one or the other. Racists are often those who are afraid of losing their identity. And it comes to complete absurdity and loss of humanity.
My father is from the Novgorod region, north of St. Petersburg. And at one time, when Novgorod expanded its influence, it certainly encountered local peoples, such as Moksha, Finns, etc. And they were strictly forbidden to intermarry with these tribes. But look at the appearance of many northern Russians now..)))
Ukraine in Central and west regions were pro Nazi Germany. These people became the Strphan Bandera nationalist Neo Nazis of today. East Ukraine were ethnic Russians who were and are not treated well by Ukrainians. So I believe the blacks there were mistreated by Banderite Ukrainians.
Ukrainians are pro white. They are very much against Africans. They are very nationalistic. They tolerance for other is non existent.
As a black American man I've had nothing but positive experiences with Russia people. Where I worked on Friday's they would order lots of food and would practically pick me up to have me join them.

Really,
I’m white, I grew up in the Soviet Union listening to the song Chunga-Changa, it was a kind, cheerful song, this is the first time I’ve heard about racial discrimination, this song aroused curiosity about black people and Africa, there was no negative emotion. As for chew coconuts, eat bananas - Soviet children would have been happy to chew coconuts and eat bananas themselves, but there were no bananas in the Soviet Union, so the black boy from the cartoon occupied a more privileged position compared to Soviet children. And the fact that blacks were looked at as someone different, different, is normal, wouldn’t you look at a white person who ended up in a black community as something non-standard? the same way Indians look at a white girl who finds herself in their habitat, this is the case everywhere, we and you look at something new with curiosity, we will look like that at a alien, deadpool, spider-man, but this is not discrimination, this is normal.😊
I agree, the Chunga-Changa song has nothing to do with racism. It an innocent song, an innocent story and beautiful illustration.
Абсолютно согласен, они намеренно зеркально описывают смысл этой песенки.
Oh tryin bein black for a day😮😢
We just knew that these children specifically could be from tribes that live and have the right to do so, with a different social structure. And my morning as a child could be called beautiful in advance (and I am an owl by nature) if the morning started with this cartoon. Beautiful landscapes, beautiful children.. good cartoon)
If it was latent racism, I would have felt it. Because I felt then, as a child, I didn't feel negativity towards these black children..) But it was the other way around)
В СССР не было бананов? Вроде ты и похвалил Союз, но и обосрал в то же время. Еще скажи мандарин и апельсин, вместе с кокосами , мы в своем октябрятско-пионерском детстве, видели только в импортных журналах. Я в детстве обжирался ими.

It's good that someone in the comments mentioned Abraham Petrovich born in the Cameroon around 1696-1781 and great grandfather of the celebrated writer Puskin. He was named Hannibal after Hannibal the Carthagian general who took elephants across the Alps to and defeated Roman armies and spending 20 years or so doing it. Petrovich was not only a general in the Russian Imperial army he was a mathematician a military engineer and nobleman of Russian Empire. He taught mathematics to the heir to the throne, the Great Duke Peter Alexeevich. Peteovich was said to have been kidnapped and enslaved in the Ottoman empire before he was sold and taken to the Russian court of Czar Peter I. He studied the arts and sciences in Metz Paris and joined the French army where he got the name Hannibal. He returned to Moscow after fighting in a war against Spain and served in the Russian Imperial army. He had ten children with a Swedish woman and their third son Osip, was the father of the Russian author Pushkin who wrote the book the Moor of peter the Great.

Russia is a very paradoxical country. Yes, you can easily meet a racist taxi driver, but 90% of taxi drivers (at least in my city, Novosibirsk) are themselves migrants from CIS countries. You can easily encounter rudeness on public transport, but this is not because you are black or asian, a white russian has no less chance of this.
The Soviet-era cartoons mentioned in the video are not racist, by the way. The fact that the characters eat coconuts and bananas is presented rather as good living conditions (in the USSR at that time, coconuts and bananas were a rarity and a delicacy). The song is about a wonderful island where you don’t have to work, it’s summer all year round(the dream of the inhabitants of most of the USSR) and everyone is happy. The way black children are depicted is just normal stylization for that time.
I love the Russian people they very hard working & intelligent

One of the few countries that didn't destroy or hid the Black Jesus's ( maybe because they weren't under the Catholic church or the Popes ( like Borgia whose son Cesare ( Leonardo DaVinci gay lover) Leonardo painted and he became the image of Jesus Christ
If there is A Jesus I can't believe he was A fair skinned man... as far as that nor any person in any part of Africa..
They All Already know
Look at the US and France and South Africa right now, descending into chaos. All i would say is be very cautious about who you let into your country.
Hell Testimonies On TH-cam Says We All In Trouble
Yes, Russians are a loyal friends of Africa as orthodox Christians and a student in Russian university in late 1980s. I have a deep fondness of Russia to this days.
I have spent lots of time in Russia and never came a cross in problems with being Jamaican as i was made very welcome by everyone and now i have a Russian girlfriend and she is so lovely and her family have accepted me as part of they family and we hope to get married soon and spend the rest of our lives together as i am in the UK and waiting to go back to Russia as it has been 5 years since we last spent time with each other but we talk every day on Skype also he kids call me dad plus her grandkids call me grandad and i do miss them and can't wait to be back with them again soon .
I am 57 years old I have been waiting for someone to do this documentary, 🤗🙏🏾 cuz I feel like Putin is unfairly judged that's just my opinion 🤗🤔🤔 when he showed all those painters that were hitting and he opened my eyes to that cuz I have been seeking and seeking and he showed me the truth so I thank him for that 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤧🤧
I spent 6 months studying in Saint Petersburg. Everybody was really friendly from the taxi drivers to the bouncers in the disco. I would say people were just curious to know who this non-white foreigner was. Of course it helps if you speak Russian as not many of the locals speak English. The one thing that really resonated with me was the overall politeness of the average Russian, with the exception of one babushka who thought I was a CIA spy and tried to convince everyone on the bus to call the FSB, a throwback to what black people might have faced in the dark days of communism.
The reason I highlight the politeness is because people went out of their way to be helpful and kind unlike in Kiev, where I spent a few days in 2011. That was a whole different experience. Yes you have nice people, but you also have plain clothes policemen (at least that is what they claimed to be) surrounding you and searching you for money. To be fair once they realized I had no dollars or euros on me they became quite friendly. That same night I also saw a mass brawl in an underpass. This all happened in the very centre of town around Maidan. I also remember looking for a bookstore in the centre and was unable to find one. All the shops on Kreshatik were either Gucci, Prada, Armani or banks and there was a McDonalds to break the monotony of available services on offer. I also remember queueing at the checkout counter and a young guy just cut straight in front of me like I was irrelevant. I also saw huge women throwing drunks off the train at the end of the subway line. Also leaving the passenger area at the airport was like riding the gauntlet because every taxi driver in Kiev was trying to force me to take a ride with them in their taxi. My general impression of Kiev in 2011 was that it was not safe once night falls. I never had that feeling in Saint Petersburg in 2018.
A point about something mentioned in the video. The video talks about African students living in substandard dorms. Most Russian students also live in such dorms. It does not matter if you are black, white or asain. The guy next door to me was Dutch, we had some Bulgarians and a couple of French and Italian guys on our floor as well as some Russians. You wouldn't rent these places out to your worst enemies, but this seems to be part and parcel of the student experience in Russia. Friends told me of how they were chasing cockroaches at night. I have been told that some of the newer universities like HSE in Moscow have western standard dorms, but if you are going to study in Russia you are probably better off in private accomodation, if you can afford it.
Babushka branded you as American. Not as Black Man
Wow I am so enlightened by this presentation I'm 67 and only now realize why j edgar called certain black leaders as communist, thanks for nothing public education

babushka stuff made me laugth hard. that s so true about Russia. older people can act insane and nobody is allowed to say something aginst most of the time :))

I have come to the conclusion that we are just hated everywhere.
Not really, that is what they ( the racists) want you to believe. They are hated all over including Europe, Russia, Africa, Central and South America , Africa, India, the Orient , S. E. Asia.. everywhere they went they left a trail of rape, plunder, Theft, hatred, Genocide, everywhere I went ( about 20 countries), they loved us and our culture.
Isn't this just sad?
Of course we are. You wanna know why? Read Deuteronomy 28.
welcome to the club.
Nobody Talking About R@cist Brazilians UnAliving Us Also
In the entire thousand-year history of Russia, we have not had slaves from Africa, we have never had slave markets. We had a lot of other things, but never discrimination based on skin color!
Apparently Russia within their church has pictures of “black” Jesus and the characters of the Bible were all “black” too. RUS knows that blacks in America are the children of Israel probably why they didn’t take part in the slave trade nor divide up Africa like UK,France,Germany,Portugal,Spain and Italy. Don’t wanna be cursed by YAH I see. Those who bless Israel shall be bless those who curse Israel shall be cursed. RUS didn’t want to be cursed like some other nations. Why they are looked at as an enemy despite being a European nation Aswell.
Omg. Chunga-changa - cartoon of my childhood! It was about africans who lived happily on tropical island with plenty of food like bananas and coconuts. And ofc they was friendly with animals. They was depicted as kind, helping people, lol! And they was not ïnhuman figures this is just a style of cartoon by design! I do not think this is an author's fault, he just do not know the context.
Yeah that's why when it comes down to this Russian and Ukraine war I have no dog in the fight both countries have shown their anti-blackness.
yeah thats becuase when the isrealie jews migrated to russia they over took it with there ppl thats when the worst killings happend, its not until putin came in and changed everything
@@afgoutlawz8729Lmao what are you talking about? Putin genocides innocent Chechnyans in 1999, faked terrorist attacks to pin it on minority groups in Caucasus, ethnically cleansed Georgians from their villages in 2008, and blended 350,000 of his own citizen in a no-purpose war. More casualties than that of America's in Vietnam War, Iraq War, and Afghanistan war...which lasted many decades
I can’t say they the same.. I ran into a few from both countries in the states who have a racist attitude who recently migrated here.. so I am skeptical
You mean the Racist Ukranians, not the Russians. Seems like the USA is always on the side of Racists, I suppose it's in the nations' DNA
Let's face it, BLACK PEOPLE are the most hated RACE in the surface of the earth. As far as am concerned Russians do treat Blacks far better than USA & Western Europe and Asians put together.
Blackman needs to understand that we're a HATED RACE where ever go. So there's a serous NEED TO UNITE. LOVE EACH OTHER. And work together and make Africa our comfortable HOME and work what's go towards ALL. There should be no need for BLACKMAN to be globe trotting at the MERCY OF OTHER RACES. The fact of the matter is nobody like Black people.
AFRICA IS OUR HOME. LET'S FIGHT AND HER GREAT.
NAKUPENDA AFRICA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE BEING BLACK
Im so happy to hear this about Russia because the USA MAKES THEM LOOK BAD BUT I THINK I SHOULD MOVE TO RUSSIA NOW.
russia and usa are both jewish zionistic enemys to human race
Привет❤❤❤
both the same
Im yea I know a few Russians and they are smart , funny as hell and peaceful people. I will never hate it look at Russians in any bad way. Every nations have bad apples but over all Russia is beautiful
Na, stay yo ass home. Russia is only for ethnic Russians. It's not a multicultural country like the US.
Ive spoken with a few russians and they arent very hateful towards us black people. There very passionate an stoic but friendly to have conversations with. I could be wrong about all of them but the few ive met have all been pretty easy going around black people. I think africa being allies with russia is a good thing for africa.
While in the US was racial discrimination and segregation, Soviet Union send the first black person in the space.
Please let us understand one thing. There’s no country in the world that is devoid of racism.
All the European, American & Asian countries all have experiences of racism towards Africans.
I think that what should makes the difference here is the question:
What is the official state policy towards people from Africa?
It is well known that Russians or Soviet Union never engaged in African slavery the way the Arabs, Americans & Europeans did.
The racism experienced in Russia is not unexpected because it has to do with human prejudice of the citizens of the state.
Let’s face it it’s not possible for everyone to like everyone. The state can not impose a law demanding compulsory likeness for foreigners.
Even in Africa & among African countries there are wide spread racism experienced black on black.
In Nigeria there is racism (often called tribalism) experienced amongst the different ethnic groups usually in big metropolitan cities like Lagos.
So for me, the Russian state apparatus didn’t encourage racism as it was done elsewhere in Asia, EU & America.
It is simply individual likes & dislikes that usually plays out in Russia.
Yes it is also true that the Russians/ SU took advantage of the bad situations elsewhere to invite Africans into their country, hoping that the citizens would accept them & treat them well. However, things doesn’t always work out as planned.
I spent approx 10years in the SU/ Russia from 1989 to 1999. I enjoyed my stay. There were good Russians as well as bad ones in my experience.
The life in Russia is usually not as interesting as in the western countries. Hence the preference for the west.
But Russia is always an option that should always be preserved at the back of one’s mind.
As it may concern Africans directly, we should remember the great Russian literary Poet “Pushkin” who is of mix blood from Ethiopia.
Spot on.
I don’t understand the intention of this comment.
@@jaylooppworld381at least you should understand the topic of conversation I guess to understand the intention of a comment
Throughout my studies in the Soviet Union, I did not face any blatant racism on the streets as i faced during my few weeks holidays in the West. My colleague students were very accommodating and helpful. We were like brothers and sisters provoking one another jokingly with zero spec of racism. Some will gang with us to tease the girls and the girls will gang up to tease us. They would say, "We saw your ugly girl on your floor this weekend and wanted to beat her up for stealing you from us " All was made up. But we had good times.
Elsewhere wherever I went for holidays was different.
такая же история, бро
So why didn't you stay?
Come on man
Russia helped all Africa to fight with colonialism. Russia never colonized Africa
This video is propaganda. We Somalian are thankfully the russian
thanks man. But the video doesn't say anything factually incorrect, even if it does exaggerate, we do have some racists here too unfortunately.
I lived in Russia more than 9 years i had not faced any kind of racism .
Friends, we have about 200 nationalities in Russia.We don't care what color your skin is, just be a good person.
Again, Russia owes someone something. Keep saying things like that and some people may start doing the opposite out of spite. You need to say "everyone should." Not Russia should, but everyone should, and Russia is no exception.
Russians have done a lot worse things to other people in the world than they ever did to the blacks. The atrocities of those people worldwide overshadows anything normal white Christians have done.
Exactly. The narrator is a white person though....probably American and he has no room to talk about anybody and their history of racism when America has one of the worst histories in the world.
You left out the “Father of Russian Literature” the African descended ALEXANDER PUSHKIN born in 1799 Russia! Ase and Hotep..👏🏿
I had a good friend of mine live in Russia for about 2 to 3 yrs(early 2000’s) as an adult indigenous man and he said it was WAAAY better that the 🇺🇸, he was told most of the racism, that he never experienced, was from the(as quoted)“leaching of the western mind”
Rubbish. The biggest cities in America are run by minority mayors. Why only few blacks live in Russia? U ever heard a black person said they want to live in Russia?
Al"adult indigenous man"?
I’m very glad to read comments from Black African descents here. The video starts with an intriduction that‘s enticing, about European colonialism and American slavery (USA, Brazil and other countries in North, Central and Soith Anerican continents), but then the video uses bits of historical information to build a picture of the Soviet Union and Russia as a country with a signifficant level of racism, where racial discrimination is not uncommon.
i think that’s mainly “Wrstern” propaganda anti-Russia. what i’ve lrarned from several testimonies and reports for a long time is that racism practically doesn’t exist in Russia. That’s a human defect and it looks like it’s mainly a Wrstern disease. The racist people in our world is predominantly from Western Europe, that’s a simple historical fact.
Most colored people who have experienced living in Russia have very warm and good feelings
Is there no racism between individual peoples and tribes in Africa? It is important that such behavior is condemned by the government and the vast majority of people. The genocide in Rwanda
Greed and religion is the cost of genocide
Not sure how much racism there is now. But I think it's worth asking to what extent is the racism in Africa organic compared to the racism which was created by Caucasian divide and conquer strategy. For example, would the Rwandan genocide have happened without Europeans putting the Tutsis over the Hutus?
There were slave raids before Europeans came but they magnified the scale and added other exacerbating factors, such as guns. So then at the time as an African leader, if you didn't get guns, your enemy on the continent might. It encouraged you to raid your African neighbour to survive in the arms race so that your own people would not be the ones sold to the Europeans.
@@legendaryclarityTake The Bantu undermining of The Pygmies in Central African countries for example as similar kind of bigotry that Germanics have towards Samis In Northern Europe and the Bantu on Pygmy pejorative has been going on way before Western Europeans showed up or any other Non Bantu Or Non Pygmy peoples came along yeah.
No it would encourage me to use those guns on the people enslaving my people, because in the end they took them too. I never believed African Chiefs sold them I to slavery until Nigeria and ECOWAS was ready to attack Niger for France...
Hell Testimonies On TH-cam Says We All In Trouble Do Your Research Humanity
This individual uses the rare cases as if that was the norm. The Soviet Government had strict policies which meant serious punishment for Soviets who discriminated against or harm any foreign student. I studied in the Soviet Union from late 70 ies to early 80 ies & married a Soviet woman who traveled & lived with me in my country. All her family attended our wedding.
Это видео во многом надуманное и предвзятое. Манипулятивные акценты на негативных событиях, и некорректные и нелогичные выводы, не учитывающие множество других факторов. У нас есть расизм, но он ни в коем случае, не систематический. Люди все разные, и глупых много и злых, но основная масса имеет в своей основе правильное воспитание и мировоззрение.
🤣 where are you
@@icemike1 ты по языку и теме видео определить не можешь? Тогда тебе нужно над собой посмеятся
Песня чунга-чанга никогла не носила подтекст рассизма!!!! Она лишь помогала советским детям обьснить, что есть люди с разным цветом кожи и что у них есть другие фрукты! Первые бананы появились в России в 90-х годах и это было новым фруктом.
I remember bananas in the early 80s in Russia. They were green, my parents did not allow them to be eaten green. Now I eat green bananas🍌🍌
В 80 е бананы были
Я выращиваю бананы и родилась на Карибах, и мы любим бананы. Думаю, бананы с яичницей бегут по моим венам.🤣
Russia never colonized a single country and Russia never encouraged slavery..never. Truly, Russia is filled with truth and love. I salute Russia for the truths coming out now.
i remember one night club in Moscow in 90th where young people from Africa (i think they were students) used to organize parties weekly. i loved that place a lot. most of the guests were african but many russians as well.
good music, african food and drinks in the bar. that was cool
16:17 Actually, I grew up on old Soviet books and cartoons, and never perceived them as stories about primitive blacks. These stories portrayed the dark continent as a place of carefree life, where food and sweets such as coconuts and bananas (which only a few people in my country have seen or tried) grow on trees. The idea of a continent where it is always warm and the crops bloom all year round is in many ways a paradise for us. And one more thing, life in the northern part of Eurasia is difficult, it is difficult to live there due to the climate and the small amount of fertile soil, and besides, we have always been surrounded by aggressive neighbors. Russia consists of many ethnic groups; in our society we do not have such constructs as a superior race; even the peoples that we had to conquer were never deprived of their rights to identity and calmly professed their faith and rituals. The word savage does not have any connotation with us as backward or inferior. Simply different, not professing cosmopolitanism or cut off from social processes. Europeans and Russians see these children's fairy tales and cartoons differently.
And just so you know, I only tried fruits like banana and coconut when I was 18 years old. Sugar in tea was my usual sweets as a child. For the first time in my life I saw a black person, also somewhere at that age. I always look at them with curiosity, because I rarely see them, they are interesting, although perhaps to them I look like a savage)
Authors, you take a couple of dubious stories and draw conclusions about the country and people from them. How are you different from those you fight with?
The Icon of Russia, the icon of every Russian, the poet every Russian boasts about - Alexander Pushkin, who was born into the Russian nobility in Moscow - had African blood.
His father, belonged to an old noble family.
His maternal great-grandfather was Major-General Abram Petrovich Gannibal, (cannibal) an Afro-African noble who was kidnapped from his homeland by Ottomans, then freed by the Russian Emperor and raised in Peter The Great's court. Pushkin had African features.
Amazing how 1/8th black makes you black, but being 7/8ths white doesn't make you white. 🙄🤔
What is an Afro African. I’m not even being funnny. I’m really asking. As a black man this is my first time hearing that phrase
Alexander Pushkin was white, he had some African ancestry from a great grandparent but let’s not just distort history to fit a narrative, that is what self hate is.
@@maxl5423 "let’s not just distort history to fit a narrative, " I was quoting from wikipedia., lol.
@@Dr.Yalex.yeah he had a small bit of African ancestry but it's not like dude was "black".
It really doesn't matter tho...
It feels like the 2nd half of the video has a narrative changed drastically to align with the mainstream media portraying Russia as a racist state. Indeed there were neo-nazis in Russia in 1990s (though those ideas were imported and nazi groups were funded from abroad to further destabilise Russian society), and isolated cases of racism might still occur there from time to time (especially towards people from former Soviet republics like Tajikistan - just like with the landlords stating "Slavs only" because they've had prior experience with a dozen illegal immigrants cooped up in their single-room apartment) but there has never been institutional racism in Russia, especially towards black people.
And BTW the Soviet Chunga-Changa cartoon was meant to teach Soviet kids that black people are nice and friendly. The lyrics referred to in this video in fact were: What a wonderful island, so easy to live here, our hapiness is permanent - we can eat coconuts and bananas (which were a rare find in the USSR back then). So there was no offense meant.
I'm from the university of American.. as a Black man I (definitely respect Russian) for standing up for black people.. black people did yall know this right here..
It’s the old “ Do as I say, not as I do”
The second any group of underdogs gets privilege over the general population….. it’s plain jealousy that takes over.
The Soviets never supported racism.They helped the Ethiopians fight off the italians
This is why when I see what is taking place between Russia and Ukraine I can’t say bad things bout Russia the love Africans. Puttin gives the African leaders full respect
Grandfather of "Russian Sun of Poetry" Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) was black. He like a Shakespeare of Russia. Russians love him, he is like national hero. Every Russian knows about his black roots. Russian kids learn it from kindergarten.
Не русское солнце поэзии, а солнце русской поэзии )))
Я встречала разные варианты в литературе, но спасибо за комментарий @@user-ekaterinaB
The narrator of this video has an apparent bias towards Russia and this is not surprising because his American accent gave him away. First of all, black people are hated everywhere but there are some countries where this hatred is more predominant than others. As a consequence of which it is always better when presenting such an argument to also present a comparative situation so as to project a clearer picture of what is being described given the fact that nothing exists in a vacuum. Whatever racism black people suffered in the Soviet union in the 1960s pale by comparison to what they suffered in the US. I can remember growing up as a teenager during the 1960s and reading the book by Martin Luther King and witnessing the grotesque pictures of the most gruesome acts perpetrated on black people. Policemen beating black people with night sticks while peacefully protesting, dogs being set on them and many of them with their clothes ripped from the dog bites, powerful fire hoses spraying them with powerful jets of water. And these were the lucky ones, many others were burnt alive on crosses, some burnt up in their homes. I can go on and on, but the facts of the matter are, there is no country in the world that treated black people worse than the US closely followed by the UK and that cannot be denied.
There's a saying, " Life is like a boiling pot. When the heat is on, the scum rises to the top." People are always striving to be counted. When they are not counted as value, they lash out against groups of smaller numbers or significance. Suffering people only know suffering, and they reject that
Well the Russian people are about to endure some more suffering over the next decade (plentiful reasons to lash out at “The Other”), so I wouldn’t entertain any ideas of visiting Russia anytime soon. You might end up like minced meat on the Ukrainian front like some Africans and Cubans.
In comparison to western racism, Russia is Elysium!
The soviets/Russian have always known who the so-called black people are, this is the reason for the type of treatment they've shown toward us. Back in the day they knew the difference between Hebrew Israelites (God's people) and other dark-skinned people. Even today Vladimir Putin prays to a black Madonna. Halleluyah!!!🎉
The Americans knew too they just refused to acknowledge it
Yup he knows
You guys are so f**ken stupid.
My father and mother back in the 70s along with Angela Davis went to Russia was respected they were all freedom fighters ! Black history is whiting out with lies if you have old books on black history read them to your children and grandchildren teach them the truth! Peace love in light ❤thank you for sharing this
Living in the northeast, I have never had a bad experience with ANY Eastern Europeans or Southeast Asians. Good and spiritually healthy people will be just that, it doesn't matter the race, it's mainly here in America and the West in general where a lot of people are spiritually unfit, prejudiced, or racist.
It actually sounds like Blacks are pretty well in Russia!.. the video talks about racism encountered, but that’s just because people suck in general. If you weigh it all up fairly on a table Russia seems surprisingly relatively friendly
Now ,who can deny the reality of Russia's enfluencial support to Africans.
I never had issues with Slavic people. I saw how the Ukraine treated Africans over there on the news. I know Ukrainians are not Russians, but they both were part of the USSR.
You're wrong! Ukrainians appeared only in 1900. My great-grandmother was from Tavria, this is now Ukraine, she did not when she did not understand who Ukrainians were, she lived back in tsarist Russia. Ukrainians were invented by the Germans in order to divide the Russians. Grand Duke Rurik, the founder of the dynasty, and his descendant Ivan the Terrible, tsar of all Russia. P.S. it's a shame that people stopped looking at their own and roots, it's easier to separate us this way (
@user-uz7ql2kh8y they are Ukrainians now. I know the alphabet is similar. Just like the former Yugoslavia people can understand each other, even though Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian are supposed to be different languages. We can agree to disagree.
Ukrainians are Russians. Except for the western regions, whose residents are closer to Poland and Hungary.
I don't understand what the language has to do with it, I'm telling you that we are both ethnically the same, culturally and even mentally, and quite recently we beat the same country, there was no Ukraine. And the war is now going on because of the propaganda of the United States and NATO. I am from those parts myself and I know the history of my land. If you need an example, look at the coat of arms of Ukraine, they themselves do not know what it means, they say a trident, but it is an inverted falcon, the standard of Rurik.
My brother communicates with foreigners from the West and everyone says that Russia is bad, but no one can explain when you ask them where such things come from, because many of them did not know anything about Ukraine before the war. Propaganda has completely burned out your brain. No offense, these are bare facts, you're just repeating what you're being told in the media.@@LncJhnsisDrivinginLVAndMreBaby
This explains why I love My Russian brothers and sisters. First time seeing this video, but always felt Russia is Day and the USA is night when it comes to race
where did you get that shit about destress caused to mixed couples in USSR? Yes my mother's marriage caused my Grandfather leaving his job, because he was working for military defense and any links to foreign countries were prohibited for such jobs, and that's it! We lived in Moscow then tried Africa(not a good attempt due to tropical diseases), got back to USSR and here i am. Still i can say that Africans are a rare folk here and i have no acquaintances with black skin, but i have no complaints. Russia gives only what you can achieve and climb to yourself, nothing more and nothing less. It's a harsh place to live in, and people seem gloomy, but they are honest, hard working people and usually do not smile if something is not right.
О. Пропагандисты новую тему окучивают
When they write when renting an apartment only to Slavs, it's not about racism , but about guest workers . Often one person rents an apartment and then twenty-five people live in it.
In Germanybthey wouldn't rent to White Americans ( said they were too dirty) that wasn't racism.
There was a Black Russian born guy I knew who was an attendent to worked in my former local laundry in NYC who I used to converse with. Although he came across as slightly on the conceited side I felt he was still a nice friendly guy.
В 90-че всем был тяжело, не только африканцам, нет в этом никакой дискриминационно и расизма! Насилие было следствием развала страны, всем тогда досталось!
Old Soviet anecdote - The Americans had been preparing a resident to work in the USSR for many years. His legend was developed brilliantly, he learned the spoken language perfectly, taking into account different dialects. Finally, he was dropped from an airplane into Soviet territory, and he emerged from the forest, dressed in a quilted jacket and a cap. Entering the courtyard of the hut, he asked the grandmother for a drink.
- And you, my dear, won’t you be a spy?
- Where did you get the idea, grandma?!
- Yes, we have never seen blacks in our area!
U cant imagine how many African people studying in In Russian North. So they re polite and good people
