I love how Russia did a free Angela Davis concert and that's how I found out that Russia wasn't racist as america

Moral of the story: When moving to a new country, learn the language and assimilate as fast as possible

All this time ive avoided Russia thinking black ppl had no place there. But apparently there's a history there 😱

Thank you for speaking on this I'm watching from America.🙏🏽🙏🏽

This series is wonderful. It shows that African people have salted this planet in so many places, contributed in ways never taught in the history books. I am looking for a George Dickason who traveled with Robeson to Russia in the 40s. He was my great uncle. I would love to know more about his life and if he stayed in Russia. Actually, the part of the old USSR he lived in may be known as Ukraine now. It would be a blast to find out that I have family I can contact, maybe visit!

Everybody was servant of Tzar by default, but Hannibal was his Godson. Later he became Russian Nobilty .

EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY

The end comment 🤣🤣. Excuse me while I go incognito mode...🙈

Gannibal was not an enslaved African at all, he was Peter the Great's godson and rose to a position of very high prominence in both the Russian court and in military service And no the Abkhaz black people were not slaves either. By Russian law of the time any slaves arriving on its territory were automatically free men (although the same didn't apply to serfs who weren't much better off than slaves). Those Africans were from some Ottoman ship that got wrecked on the coast, something like that; and then just settled in Abkhazia for lack of anything else to do About Africans leaving the USSR after 1939 I never heard about that. But why would it be a thing, the war started just 2 years after that so can't imagine there would be enough time for a change in the racial climate. If they left, it was probably because of the war itself. There certainly was some tension between the locals with African students in the 50s, 60s, 70s. On the whole, poorly researched; you can do better :P

Amazing

Abram Gannubal wasn't a slave. He was kidnapped when he was 8 and given to the turks. He was later sold to Peter the Great. He was never a slave.

You should do a video on the African Diaspora in Germany.

im afro russian thanks for this vid

Russia is very diverse

That's bc US legit makes everyone think in the US that it only snows in Russia and we live with polar bears...we have 4 seasons and no we aren't all in the mafia

Note that what they did not mention is that in the Abkhazia region the African diaspora was introduced in the area by way of the Ottoman Empire which ruled the area until the Russian empire expelled them.

Wow, I had no idea of any of this history, Afro-Abkhazians?!

Recently, there have been, on the contrary, much more Russian males and African females getting mixed

Cool! Ya'll Diaspora over there in Russia get and stay in contact with your people, in the States and the planet abroad. Sup? Love ya'll! Hotep

March on Moscow's. Now that sounds like boss level.

Why you turn off comments section on Iran Africa?.

U forgot to add, at the very least, that the hostilities between 95-2006. Were based on the Nigerian heroin trade on Moscow streets.

Where are you from?

WHAAAAAT!!!! Interesting.

4:59 Putin is smiling wow!

Sorry I just saw the video pop up at the end of this one.

When the covid 19 vaccine hits the streets, are you considering going to African Diaspora communities in various countries?

What ?!

Why is it every time an African out side Africa is a slave what about the moors who traveled to Europe ?

I'm from Belarussia, you are cute.

Hello Hello

How do you identify Egyptians, morrocans, Sudanese etc in Russia? Because these are also Africans so what if you're referring to black immigrants instead? They could end up maybe not even being of African descent but melanasian or aboriginal

Africans that finished school in Russia were needed in their homelands to rebuild countries. But why didn't they take their wife and children with them ? Or come later to get them. !?

Soviet Union won WWII, and you are talking about the pact, like SU was with Hitler. Learn the history. Do you know how many soviet people was killed, villages burned?

It might have been custom to have black servants in west but not in Russia !

There is no way Abram Gannibal could be from Cameroon. 1st because Ottomans' authority never stretched that far as Cameroon (and Abram was presented to the Tsar as a gift from the Ottomans) 2nd the Turks called him Arap for a reason: "arap" means "arab" in Turkish. Most people of Ethiopia and Eritrea are Semitic, that's why the were called Arabs, whereas people of Cameroon are black African, and there is a different word for them in Turkish - "zenci".

Nor . Nor i devenir aimez la Russie car ils bon histoire rencontres les noires autour au monde entier!

African presence in Russia didn’t begin with slavery smh

5:09 almost looks like michelle obama.

Again, she looks white with slight tan and quite beautiful. The one drop policy is not Russians. Most people in US look more white than black

he original people that inhabited North Africa, original Hebrews and their Egyptian neighbors( Don't forget the Pharoahs), southern Europe, parts of Middle East and the Moors who ruled Europe for 700 years were black people. They were the first voyagers of discovery. They travelled around the world. Christopher Columbus found them in the Americas. Wherever they went, they also built pyramids. Most of the voyagers got stuck because they lost the technology to get back. Using the theory that the earth was one land mass doesn't carry water. Guess this is because people think it was impossible for blacks to have the technology to sail. Stereotypes. Though scattered and thousands of miles apart, the tradition and culture remains similar. Question is...at what point did the Arabs hijack the Egyptian treasures and Europeans hijack the Bible characters and voyages of discovery? And at what stage did the black group got weakened and slavery start?

You’re so cheeky🤣🤣🤣🤣 if you look him up delete your history Lmfao 😂

Russia was last one to make packt with Germany not to attack eachother! That is all.
