My experiences travelling as a black woman in Russia.
If you read this blog or follow me on social media, you’re probably already aware that my husband and I spent 10 days in Moscow and St. Petersburg a few months back. (Not following me on there yet? Get thee to my Facebook page or Instagram, stat!)
In the time since, I’ve gotten a lot of interest and questions from people about our trip. This isn’t entirely surprising, because while Russia gets its fair share of visitors, it’s not a hugely popular destination for most holidaymakers.
That Russia is not on the average traveller’s radar could be due to a few factors. The weather is brutally cold most of the year, it has a reputation for being eye-wateringly expensive, and its sordid political past (and unstable political future) make it far more attractive to vacation in tourist hubs located in nearby Western Europe. (In 2015, London and Paris were ranked the 1st and 3rd most visited cities in the world, respectively.)
Moreover, though it may be purely conjecture, Russians are not renowned as being the warmest or friendliest people. Russia thus remains largely unexplored by the general tourist population.
Given all the above, I totally get why people are interested in our Russian holiday– their interest comes from a place of simply not knowing. But apart from the frequent “So, what’s it like?” questions, my trip has also elicited a lot of curiosity from fellow black travellers who ask, time and time again, what it was like to travel there as a person who is melanin-blessed.
As I share my pictures and observations online, I get variations of the same question over and over:
“Is it true that Russians are racist towards black people?”
“Did you suffer any racial discrimination in Russia?”
“What was your experience in Russia travelling as a black woman?”
In this post, I’m going to share my experiences.
Some historical context: African-descended people in Russia
In order to understand why this question pops up so much, it’s necessary to understand the history of African-descended people in Russia and former Soviet republics. In my research on the web, I was surprised to discover that black folks have long had a presence in what was known as the USSR: according to this article, hundreds of African-Americans travelled to the region between 1920 and 1930 in an attempt to make a better life for themselves, as well as to escape the economic strife and racial persecution they faced in the USA.
Blacks from the African continent weren’t far behind: this article explains that they relocated to the Soviet Union in large numbers, recruited by officials promising a free university education. The social climate for black people at that time was thus good, with skilled black labourers and professionals often receiving red carpet treatment in the form of enviable salaries and subsidized housing.
But this contrasts sharply with recent depictions of race relations in Russia. A quick Google search reveals articles about hostility against blacks across the country, which at its “best” has included verbal abuse (like the racial epithets hurled at black soccer players by fans during matches) and at its worst has culminated in outright physical violence during games on Russian soil.
It’s thus no surprise that black travellers of the present day are concerned about their safety and well-being while travelling in Russia. Will “Travelling While Black” on Russian soil put them in harm’s way?
Travelling While Black in Russia– My experience
The short version: I had no issues at all during my time in Moscow and St. Petersburg– in fact, I was treated exceptionally well. I got a *lot* of love from local people and this was shocking to me based on what I’d heard and read about race relations in Russia.
The long version: I felt like I was received with open arms during my stay. I got some curious looks, but none of the long, laser-focused stares I’ve encountered in many parts of Asia. People were extremely polite, helpful and cordial, especially in Moscow, which is decidedly the most “Russian” of the two cities (St. Petersburg looks and feels very Western European. I also found it to be way more touristy and easier to navigate as English, as opposed to just Russian language, is written and spoken far more widely than in Moscow). Here are some examples of the encounters I had in Moscow that stuck out to me most:
- Russian people, unsolicited, approached us on the street and on the subway to offer help with getting around. Moscow’s subway can be daunting as all the signage is in the Cyrillic alphabet and most guidebooks and maps have the stations’ names written in Roman characters. At times, we struggled, but never had difficulty receiving assistance. On one occasion, seeing the look of puzzlement on our faces, a gentleman stopped and, despite his halting English, took five minutes to point us in the right direction.
- The elderly lady in the subway car who smiled at me and patted the seat adjacent, beseeching me to sit down beside her.
- The security guard at the Europeisky mall who, upon discovering I was from Canada, engaged us in an animated discussion about his love for my country— he once lived and worked in Nova Scotia.
- The young man working in the Adidas shoe store who treated me with care and provided me with exceptional service. He thanked me for visiting his country, and implored me to explore more of it. He also lamented the fact that Russians have a reputation the world over for being “bad people”.
- The older man in the same shoe store who came from the other end of shop to tell me which shoes to buy. “Lady, the black one better,” he said. “You need shoes to run from Russian man!”
These are a few (anecdotal) examples that show why I found my experience in Russia to be extremely pleasant overall. In no way did I ever feel myself to be discriminated against because of my race. However, please note that these are my personal experiences and that there are a variety of factors that may or may not have impacted how I was treated. What are they? Read on.
Why you should perhaps take my assessment with a large grain of salt
+I’m a black woman, not a black man. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge this. Black women that travel are less of a perceived threat than black men– blame mass media, who seem hell bent on propagating the idea that black men are imposing, dangerous, criminal.
+I’m petite and appear non-threatening. At 5 foot 3, and 130 lbs, I’m small–I constitute no physical threat. I’m also very smiley. My countenance oozes positivity and that puts most people at ease.
+I only went Moscow and St. Petersburg. These cities are very cosmopolitan and though they are not on the same level as London, Paris, or Rome, they get many visitors yearly. Russians in these cities are well-educated and used to both seeing and interacting with foreign visitors. Had I ventured “off the beaten path”, to more rural cities, my experience might have been different.
+I spent 90% of my time in the company of a white man. My husband is Caucasian and, though he hails from Germany, was often mistaken as a local. It would be reckless to not acknowledge that being in his presence the vast majority of the time possibly shielded me from untoward reactions. That being said, aware of this, I made sure to spend two afternoons exploring on my own. Strangely enough, I found people treated me way more nicely when I was by myself (see my encounter above, in the shoe store) .
+I speak “American” English and present as a distinctly North American person. Again, it’s important to acknowledge that my “American-ness” , blue passport, and “American” physical aspect provide a layer of security, even in places that are known for being racist, prejudicial, and/or discriminatory. My voice and my clothing scream Western tourist and in many places this is an advantage. Don’t believe the hype, in many countries Americans are put on a pedestal and given preferential treatment.
So is Russia racist against black people? Should they travel there?
This is a question that I still find difficult to answer. My experience was extremely positive, but there are so many factors dictating this that it’s difficult to provide a definitive response that would apply to all. Personally, I would (and will) return. The architecture is stunning, the history and culture immersive, the food divine. However, on my next visit, I would like to venture outside of the main cities and explore elsewhere– Russia is too large to rely on just Moscow and St. Petersburg for an accurate depiction of what it’s about.
One thing is for sure, however, you’ll never know what Russia is truly like until you go over there and see it for yourself–this is the same for any country, city, or territory. So, to my fellow black people: I say go forth and explore, always taking care to arm yourself beforehand with information, anecdotes, and evidence.
Watch my Youtube video about my experiences in Russia:
Black people, I’d love to know: has the threat of racism in Russia (or any other country) stopped you from travelling there? Have you ever been the victim of racial discrimination abroad? Where? And for those of you who have been to Russia, what were your experiences?

I love your wording in this post, you’ve approached the subject with much thoughtfulness and not with, “Hey, I was in Russia, and I’m black and therefore they love blacks!!”
One of my brother’s studied in Russia for seven years, it was in the late 90’s to early 2000’s..he came back in 2005, he was in his thirties, but his hair turned white (stress + winter?) he was visibly traumatized. He had begun in Moscow Friendship University, but had to leave because of the fear of skinheads. Some Africans and Asian students had been targeted and lynched just because of being a different darker shade. In public transportation, he was often poked in the ribs by elderly Russian women, and shoved out of the way. The police constantly stopped him and asked for identification. My brother ended up moving to Kursk, but when he went back to Kenya, he swore never to step in Europe after that.
Obviously, experiences are very unique, but I do agree that black females have it better. I have a female friend, black Kenyan as well studying in Volgograd, it’s manageable for her, she is doing okay.
Despite the stories, I’d love to see Russia. My brother had other positive stories, that Russia had the best pastries and a very unique architectural aesthetic with colourful dome-shaped buildings. That vodka was cheaper than water?
I’d go into these countries without fear, because my experience has been that every place has it’s negatives and positives, but because humanity is everywhere, things will always pan out alright.
I live in the Netherlands and find it tolerant; but Ive faced discrimination. I’m almost always followed around in stores. I’ve been shouted at in buses and boats. The dutch are pretty cool..it’s just a few folk that act really racist.
I forgot to mention..Here in the Netherlands, I have gotten different ‘preferential’ treatment when with a white guy.
I was scheduled to go to Russia with my college in 2020 as one of three women frim my college. There were two white ladies and one was a professor. They had already sat me up with a host family who was well-off. I was so excited about going. I had my wardrobe ready because we were going in June. Well COVID-19 broke out and our trip was canceled. I was so disappointed. That was one trip I was looking forward to but TMH had other plans. I fasted and prayed and asked TMH if this was his will then let everything work out but if not then let something happen so I can’t go. Well he sent COVID-19 and I’m still here in the states. It was not his will for me to go and no telling what might have happened to me if I had gone. My complexion is very light my hair has very long locs and I dressed very neat , no pants or shorts but long dresses and skirts, well covered . So I was an Ibry and had embraced my culture maybe that was his reasons. I never asked
Exactly. This lady received an exception as well for having a white husband which led to her positive experience of being well received. Wonder how it would have been for a black couple or two black men or two black ladies.
Love your candid assessment of the situation. Oneika’s article definitely addressed a tricky subject for many black travellers in a tactful and thoughtful way
and most of blacks in RUSSIA are suspected to be spies for CIA and FBI, in Tanzania one of former student in russia called DR.LUIS SHIKA was injected something in his body by Russians who though might be spy,
he lost all money he had in Russia and properties in escaping trouble ,
Though USA helped him to go in Tanzania and now is like insane,
According to his explanations said he was hijacked by fellow staffs in his company Lunceford, also kidnapped to unknow area,
What? Is this even real?
I’m from Russia and this story sounds crazy for me as well.
It’s quite safe for black people in big cities and touristic places and it’s for sure noone will consider one a spy!
What about when visiting smaller cities then, with mostly white population
The thing is not of being a colored person. In smaller cities people may be hostile to you just for being a forigner or even that you are from Moscow, for example. Its not about the color, its about the wealth of the smaller cities. They hate you as a person with possibilities they don’t have. The color of the skin just gives a good marker, that you are not local.
Again, they can hate all non-locals, even other Russians.) Its not about the skin color.
Travel abroad? Why? Fix up yourown country first.Same as black Americans.We always traveling to a place or marry a people who hatw us! Go build! Let thek2 come to you.
I am scared to go to Russia,I guess I will never go! I am not black. I am hispanic and a bit dark but some russian people don’t like my skin color,they think I am black anyway. At times they don’t mind. Once two of them ridiculized me in a mall and one of them said he didn’t like going to roller skating rinks because there are too many blacks in there! Another time he was trying to touch my arm! He really dislikes blacks! They have a twisted mentality. How do you know if they will discriminate you or not and yell horrible stuff in a street? I hope these things don’t happen again.
Where did it happen?
Maybe, you will laugh, but I think that the cause may be that you look like Russian caucasian. There are tensions in relations of ethnical russians (especially in Moscow and Saint-Petesburg) because of the large migration from the republics of North Caucasus, such as Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia. The thing is that there was a bloody war in that region not long ago.
Stop giving racist people power by acknowledging their lower level mentality. Racist people are mentally challenged just ignore their wasted space takers.
Yeah,you made a point
Im actually a huge fan of Zap Mama. There have been several members since the Early 90’s and on of the members was an African from Moscow. Myself, even living in North America has never had a problem with Russians. Actually, I got along with them pleaseantly, actually. Whichever job I was on they commended me of my hard work and even put in good words for me with the higher ups. They shared their cultural foods with me. But, most of all Holidays. There is a store I still go to and shop. Now, from what I’ve read since the war in Ukraine. Is that African people people in Ukraine were discriminated against as they were being evacuated from the country. We’re talking about teenagers who were there for college 16 and 17 years old. They were kicked and treated badly. Sent in a different direction than the natives. Until, the Prime Minister told the Ukrainian military not to discriminate against them. Now, that was just one account from a student. So, guess what? I treat all people the same no matter WHAT! Decades ago, I let go of ignorance of misunderstanding or some hyping up racism to maintain Superiority. Asia should know better. One thing for sure is I know they do. So, see if we go only a step back in history from Asia what was the Continent? Africa. So, if anybody knows THEY DO! Even by name “DEAR OLD”!. Ghenghis Khan. Besides, most Asian name if you pay close attention are pronounced like Afrikan names. All I say is knowledge is power. If you don’t have enough history knowledge. I just say simply like my parents taught me. We all bleed red and God has no respect of persons. Help them change their minds about someone.

Yes it is true that Dr BALBOSA is the best to restore broken homes and relationships. My name is Jojo Ivan and i was a client for DR. BALBOSA and i must tell you that he is a real spell caster. When i contacted this spell caster my boyfriend had left me for 2 years and i have always wanted him back to me. I met DR.BALBOSA to help me about a month ago and i have reconnected with my boyfriend. When my ex boyfriend left me it was turmoil for me. This became a disaster for me that i had a physiological trauma and my family were very worried about my health. After 2 years, I met DR.BALBOSA through a testimony also and he told me to calm myself that no matter what the problem is, he is well and ready to help anyone who comes to him. Just in 2 days, my ex called me and wanted to meet. I agreed and made preparations to meet him and he told me how he had felt guilty for what he did and he wanted me back. I praised DR BALBOSA for his marvelous handiwork and i will recommend him to anyone who needs a spell caster.

I honestly don’t know. I’m half Russian and half Mexican, but I have tan skin, brown eyes, and curly brown hair. I wouldn’t be worried about it though. My grandma is a Russian immigrant and she said that when she was flying to the US, she met a black lady on the plane and was SHOCKED. In a good way. Everyone she knew had blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. I kid you not, she reached for that ladies arm and ran her hand up and down it. She says 50+ years later that she was one of the most pretty people she’s ever seen! I don’t think this will be everyone’s reaction of course, but I just feel as if Russians were misjudged, many are super sweet!
So, right!
There aren’t enough Blacks in Russia to be racist against them, geniuses.
There’s enough black people in the world period dear child. Study photosynthesis again and remember the hierarchy of civilization genius
So after reading your post I just noted it to myself even though you polish most of your words. I can conclude that it is indeed racist. And the guy in the adidas have read about black history
Thank you needed that. You are so right. I jokingly but am actually serious when I experience it in North America. My parents taught me, we all bleed red, change your mind about someone because it may one day cost your livelihood and even your life.

The potential of racial discrimination hasn’t kept me from going to any specific country. I would say that I do like to know just how much physical violence I might encounter. Being refused service or called names still happen to me in the US (not often but it does happen) so that alone won’t stop me from traveling.
I traveled to Ukraine in 2009 for work and while walking down a street with an Asian colleague in central Kyiv was slapped in the face by a guy which knocked me down to the ground. When I got up he was gone. So yeah I’m not sure I would risk my safety. I know a black US foreign service officer who was beat up so badly the agency who sent him decided to steer AA from posts in that region. I have traveled in the Balkans and in more southern former soviet countries with no issues.
The insanity of those recessive mongrels need to know more about the feeling of lead doing sh*t like this. They are insane and insecure. There’s some man-made solutions our people invented for germs like this
This is great and very nuanced, there are so many factors besides race that make up your impression on others. I find that solo travel for me is exceptionally easy, I appear non threathened. I’ve been told I have a baby face so people feel maternalistic or paternalistic towards me and try to help. In Rome I felt it the most, I was even mistaken for this one shop owner’s daughter for a few minutes….who is 11, it was quote a few years ago but I was no no where near that age.
While you can’t assess in one visit if an entire country is racist at least you have put out a balanced post and all you can do is speak from a place of truth and that is also about being with a white man the whole time, staying in large cities. I’ve seen many of a report that the people are homophobic and racist and it isn’t fair that those should tarnish the image of a whole country. But I do have to say that Russia is so low on my travel list that it doesn’t place at all. This is just because of the history I’m interested, and culture etc there are other places I’d like to go first.
Good job and as always amazing pictures. I love the doll one the most! I’d love a print of that, hint hint 🙂
Yeah that needed a good edit, but you get what I’m saying 🙂
As an African American who traveled abroad frequently I noticed I received better treatment when traveling with my Caucasian male companion then with my Black husband or alone. What I found even more interesting, I was treated more warmly then either the Caucasian or my husband when travelling as a couple but not as much when I travelled alone. Travelling alone in the Caribbean my problems were primarily with the female hotel staff and “pushy” unwelcomed attention from some of the men. No difference from home or abroad but you do want to be on your guard a little more. Big, sincere smiles and enthusiasm goes a long way making people comfortable along with genuine interest in the people and the location. This post is extremely interesting and I look forward to more!
Thank you for your honesty! I was so glad to see you address that you were with your husband most of the time and that you spent time away from him and still had a positive experience. My husband and I are Black, he being 6’3 and me being 5’8 so we tend to stick out even though we’re very bubbly and smiley too. I admit I was waiting anxiously for this post on your experience in Russia as I am very curious to visit Moscow and Saint Petersburg some day 🙂
I’m glad to hear you had a positive experience in Russia and I really appreciated the nuance with which you wrote the post! Adventurous as I like to think of myself, the treatment towards the melanin inclined is something I always look into. It wouldn’t stop me from going somewhere but I definitely like to be prepared!
With everything that’s going on now (Nice, Paris, Germany, Turkey), do you feel more apprehensive about being abroad, or has it not been a factor?
Dana,
This is a very good question and I’d like to know the answer to this as well. I have the time and money to travel extensively, but recent events do concern me.
I am in Austria now, and I do notice the stares which doesn’t bother me much… but just like you I wonder if having a white partner “shields” me … Nonetheless, the people have been great so far no complaints!
Why do Americans say that Russians are racist even though we’re the most tolerant people in the world outside South America thanks to 70 years of Marxism? You won’t see this amount of racemixing anywhere in Europe or USA.
And Russia is not “brutally cold” most of the year, it’s a myth. Or is -10 to -5 in winter too cold? Come on, most relevant places here have the same climate as many areas in Europe and USA. It hurts the most 🙁
I think people associate Russians with racism because it is has been widely reported that Putin encouraged the racism against President Obama. There was the birthday projection, the monkey images, the Obama chocolate covered ice cream banana etc. Even our most conservative journalist spoke out about it. I must say that I have not traveled to abroad as of yet, I first must concur this fear of flying, however, I have made friends with Germans, Russians, Polacks and they have been some of the nicest people. I don’t know if they would act differently in their home countries, but honestly meeting all of these Germans really changed my preconceived idea of German people.
Oh I see.
That rasist impression is because in Russia there’s no taboo on addressing race in jokes or insult. Just because it is exterrior and obvious point like big ears or nose etc. And definitely, this is not polite and inappropriate, but the majority of Russians are not rasists.
It’s unlikely that Putin really encouraged such a thing but it’s just a way people represent their negative political attitude (and yes, they likely might have been paid for it)
Putin has his own private security called Wagner Security ,they have been exposed by Bellingcat as racists and far right,Putin chef has connections,that why we dont agree with Putin as much as we love Russia and things to do with CCCP,shame…
The severity of the cold is over rated. I went to Iceland in early March and it was the exact same temperature as if was in my US city. I think the fahrenheit to celsius conversion throw people.
Three Words Southtowns Buffalo New York. ! Growing up there, I’m use to it. But, others who come here. They behave like they were in Iceland.
Hi, I’m sorry to hear about the shooting at Tops on your area. As usual, Racism is still alive as we see and it definitely everywhere and others are still hated for their color etc… The shooter is 18 so he and we have a longer way to go with racism in this world!
Tolerant?
Great post! Just got back from Italy, Montenegro, and Greece and the only place I felt an undercurrent of racism was in Naples, Italy. Even with the shock of Athens being a gritty, rough looking city, I found Athenians to be friendly, helpful, and shockingly honest. I don’t think I would do southern Italy again, but I had no troubles in Rome, so I will definitely revisit there.
My old apartment had many Russians, actually the entire neighborhood was full of Russians. I never had any issues with them even though there were few blacks around. Yes, there was the pervert two doors down, but that was an individual situation. The men tend to be heavy drinkers, so I would caution solo female travellers to be cautious of their choices for evening entertainment. St. Petersburg is on my bucket list.
do you not get tired of answering this question? Do you ever plan on saying you will no long answer?
You can’t. It’s like getting tired of answering “where you from, where you from, where you from originally” every time you open your mouth anywhere in any language. After saying like three words in their language…let alone needing a JOB or something. The way just interacting with the general public has been going, I shudder to think what making it to an actual job interview would be like. If that ever happens.
Wow, this was such a fascinating post! Thanks for putting a fresh perspective out there in the world of travel blogging. 🙂 I’m glad your experience in Russia was so positive.
Awesome glad your travel experience was pleasant and positive we as a people to travel outside the box more Aloha and mahalo
Oneika, this was such a thoughtful and well-written article on your experience traveling throughout Russia. Kudos to you for it!
I recently came back from a trip to Moscow, and it was 95% great. The city is lovely, and I found Russians to be very kind, curious and friendly towards me as a Black American woman, although there was quite a huge language barrier 🙂
Unfortunately, near the end of my trip, as I was walking alone near the Kremlin, I was physically attacked (he grabbed my butt, slapped and shouted at me in Russian) by a random stranger who ran over to me as I was casually strolling through a busy path (think about 10 minutes away from the equivalent of Times Square in NYC), then quickly ran away after hitting me. Since I have many friends in Russia, I was rarely walking alone during the trip. It was a bit surprising, to say the least! The total lack of reaction from the passerby around us was even more shocking, and frankly, spoke volumes about the culture with regards to how hate crimes are handled 🙁
For those who are wondering, in terms of appearance, I am somewhat of a “glam” black American young woman. There is no mistaking me for a non-Western / African / etc. woman.
Due to the negative incident, I unfortunately would generally not recommend travel to the country at this point in time for black women. I truly had an incredible time, but as mentioned earlier, I was mostly with a super hospitable group of Russian (mostly male) friends during my trip. It did seem as if I could have been seriously assaulted that day with no consequences to the attacker, which was and still is extremely unsettling. And there are so few black people in the city, that a group of black women travelers will easily stand out. Let’s hope for a more culturally open Russia in the future, because it truly is a lovely place.
Sad he was nothing but a Punk by running away after an attack. Goes to show! I don’t think he was racist. He was nothing but a little punk. Excuse, the expression. Keep within confines. But, there was no other way to describe it
I think racism exists in every country and it is not good to say ALL russians are racists, because that is just not true. A city like Moscow is built for tourists and it lives on tourists too. So people in there just want to reach as many people as possible with their stores and their tourists business, and this includes black people.
On the other hand, Russia is a very nationalistic states, and since black people are a minority in the country, they will not be seen as pro nationalist, therefor can be hated by hardcore nationalists.
You are right here. Like in other countries we have nationalists and even neo-nazis. No need to say theese guys are dangerous. Good news, neo-nazis are few since it’s not safe to be one and most of them were arrested in 2000-x and the groups and the networks were destroyed.
Be aware of footbal hooligans or alike looking people though. It’s unlikely you will meet them in touristic places but keep in mind.
Hi Onieka, thank you for sharing your experience of Russia! It’s refreshing to read such an honest and thoughtful piece. Since I was born and raised there, I always feel a bit apprehensive when coming across similar stories, but I am happy to hear that you had a good time there. It would be interesting to see what you think of the rest of the country!
I am a 6 foot 3 inch black man who loves to travel internationally. I get questioned at the airports to exhaustion all the time.
I used to travel in a suit. That raised eyebrows. and I was questioned as to my source of income etc.
When I traveled with four pieces of luggage, they were searched because i had too many bags.
When I traveled with two pieces of luggage the very next year, they were searched because i had too few bags.
My wife stepped away from me and I was questioned as to weather or not I was traveling alone. My wife is Brasilian and light skin toned.
Although I am under greater scrutiny when I travel, I am accustomed to it because at 60 years old I’ve seen it all.
My advice to to young Black Men is, TRAVEL! Let the world see us. If we don’t tell our story, someone else will.
The older you are as a black man (60 +) seemingly appears less threatening physically and considered retired mentally worldwide. Because of the mass media black ball of black men around the world, this is the overtone. Every nation I know of has this overtone. When Black Men Evolve publicly in business and Real Leader ship in their communities this will change how the world perceives Black Men. This is why it has been made extremely difficult for a Black Men to build business in the Cities and States less worldwide. Why is it that every nationality is accepted to be supportive of its race? But when Black People unite, there is always Negative Media, Racist propaganda and an agenda to dismantle all that is progressive for Black people? Only against the Black Race.
Oneika you have did what most of us dream of, I have did some traveling as a single person and I can truly say traveling is an education, cutural, historical and given the chances to be around the locals we learn so much from one another, I will say ” Oneika do it all if you can while you can while you are still young & have your health, keep your focus and goals to shared our travel with others by writing your blogs, you tube videos, and one day someone will ask you, to do a Diverse Travel Channel, the old saying “where one door closes another opens” congratulations I look forward to hearing more from you!
I am an African woman, sometimes solo traveller and I have been to many countries though not yet to Russia. I personally believe that the African American experience is clearly different from the African experience. And people can make the difference. Also, the fact that you were with a Caucasian male. I am happy that you mentioned both factors because they do matter.
Oh, so impressive! The African American is superior to the African. Congratulations! And you were even with a Caucasian male?! Wow! That’s evolution. Before you know it, you made even be considered “Caucasian-by-association”. What a load of crap. You are very easily deceived. Go ask Obama who was initially hailed the world over and later had bananas projected to the American Embassy in Moscow. You are all clueless.
Whoever said the African American is superior to the African is a true moron.
Yeah, I’m a black female American and I absolutely agree. There are countless news reports of black African students and other minorities being physically assaulted in St. Petersburg and Moscow, sometimes brutally. Many of these people are uni students too, not random visitors whose presence might cause suspicion. I travel internationally extensively, but Russia is not on my list of places to visit because I don’t believe that blacks from Western countries should spend their money in places where less privileged black people are consistently treated like crap. Israel is also not on my list, for the same reason (i.e. treatment of Ethiopians). I’ve known Russians and Ukrainians in America who were perfectly nice people so obviously this type of behavior is learned and not necessarily cultural.
OMG! ?????
You’re killing me lol. It’s hysterical, yet typical of black Americans, to see you put your Anti-Semitism on full display. This post has (((ZERO))) to do with Jews, which is what you’re really getting at; however, leave it to a black American to use some far fetched and random excuse(i.e. Ethiopians) to make it about Israel (code for Jews). At least you’ve given everyone proof that racists come in all colors. ?
? It’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Right??
Oh…FYI, not spending money in Israel and your pity will NEVER have any impact, good or bad, on the people of Ethiopia whose plight you have uhhh…how do you say it… “culturally appropriated”. You’re obviously just virtue-signaling.
Have a nice day. ?
Calling Israel out for its anti black hatred is not Antisemitism you fucking dumb bitch..
You sound like a dumb fucking loser and overall low vibrational bacteria to get this triggered over someone’s comment. Go be irrelevant and mentally ill somewhere else
Ethiopian Jew here. Calling out Israel for how it treats us isn’t antisemitism you fucking Ashkenazi. People like you give our faith a bad name.
Wow! But I get what you’re saying
What’s the difference
This is a very interesting article. I habe travelled a lot too and as a black man I habe never been attracted bybm Russia especially because of fhe Russian people I met here in France, or Canada or elsewhere. Unfortunately O found them very cold. Also I think your trip went smoothly because you are a lady but they don’t appreciate men especially when they date their beautiful russian dolls. Plus your fiance is white so maybe it s more ok lol. I am not saying that they are all like this of course . And I am sure that some might be very curiouq and happy to see other races and colours around. But it’ s a old country. I am sure the architecture must be amazing .. thank you for sharing
Argument with “Russian dolls” works very personaly. It’s not about skin color or being a forigner. It is very personal agression and the problems absence of the code of rules for the relationships in Russia. If you take some girl on a date, and the girl is someone’s beloved one (and even if she doesn’t feel the same) – you can get in trouble even if you are Russian. It’s both Russian man being unrestrained, and some Russian women being frivolous.
Thank you for your candid insight. I found the most telling section of your article to be the area regarding your personal observations vs the potential experiences for black men. My wife and I (I’m dark skinned 6′ tall 220lbs and she is 5’5″ 130lbs ) have traveled to many places where we have been the only people of color over the past 10+ years. More times than not the initial reactions I receive when I’m alone vs when I am with her are very different. Regardless of the reception I receive, I view each new encounter as an opportunity to share my story / personality and hopefully leave them with a positive image of people of color. An Image contrary to what most mass media would have them believe.
With this administration, I’m definitely going to avoid Russia as well as a lot of other countries. Right now, being an American while traveling abroad is scarier than being a black woman traveling abroad. Smh. Vote 2018.
Definitely. And I’m not even an American. Just like when I went to the UK over a Maths teaching job in ’03. I wasn’t born in “America!” even back then but that’s what they treated me like. Unqualified trash, dirt under their feet, “go back where you came from!” sort of rubbish. All the while continuing to pretend they had a “maths teacher shortage” especially in London in the East End where all the BLACKS are. ESPECIALLY in the Black areas (like Tower Hamlets and Brixton). I never did get the job, because of my “North American accent,” wound up on Jobseekers’ Allowance because I’m half-Irish and entitled to Benefit in the UK. I mean, the teacher placement agencies (even after a successful phone interview with one of them before getting on that plane) would look at ME and not the CV and tell me I was “not qualified.” That’s how racist the UK was. Based on my being what they insisted was ‘American.’ They can’t tell the difference between Vancouver and San Francisco in terms of “accent” so it “must be American.” Because it’s OK to insult the Canadian but assuming the other way would insult the American and they can’t have THAT, now can they????? Assholes.
And 2003 was long before “Trump.” Now it’s even worse. Now I’m getting this crap in, of all places, BELGIUM. In FRENCH. Which I learned HERE. And told in yet a second language that they “can’t distinguish between American and Canadian accents’ – in bloody FRENCH??? There is no “American” accent in French!! That’s only CANADA that speaks French with an “Anglophone” accent!!! Then I get ‘”well we can’t tell America from Canada” crap. And this is deep in Wallonia, not even the bilingual capital, Brussels. Them, I could understand, after all there is a large English expat-presence there.
This, of course, has no bearing on Russia. I’m just saying I’d dread even more going some place where I HAD to speak English, because I didn’t know enough of their language to get by (looking at you, Germany.) And how they’d treat anything they thought was “American” there. I think for my safety I’ll remain in France….nice thing about being a citizen of France is that theoretically I can get the hell away from the language of “Trump.” Theoretically, at least. If not there, then there’s always French Antarctica.
The Biggest Elephant in the room – black people that travel with white husbands are not going to be subjected to much racism -endpoint!!!
Maybe not AS much, you mean? It does happen. In London, he’d get poked fun at by other men of all nationalities, I suppose, when we were out in public together….those who spoke our languages and those who didn’t, equally.
You guys are always looking for validation. You gloatingly report that as an African American, you were treated superior to the manner an African would have been treated. Congratulations! And you were even with a Caucasian male?! Wow! That’s evolution. Before you know it, you may even be considered “Caucasian-by-association”. What a load of crap. You are very easily deceived. Go ask Obama who was initially hailed the world over and later had bananas projected unto his image at the American Embassy in Moscow. If they could do it to him (and he is infinitely more accomplished than you are – Caucasian husband and all), it tells me what they are about. Case closed.
Love conqures all fear
Oneika said she was treated even more nicely when she wasn’t with her husban So your attempt to denounce that to being because of her husband is stupid, don’t get your undies bunched up now, also for you to assume a whole country of people to be racist is stupid grow up.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip and that you found our culture beautiful and fascinating! I would recommend you to visit Vladivostok. It is far, but it is very different from the European part and it has stunning nature with its beautiful wild beaches of the Japanese sea. Best time to visit – August- beginning of september. My Dominican boyfriend has been there last year with me to visit my family and he loved it! People there are not too spoiled by western tourists, so they are happy to show their hospitality. Enjoy your further trips!
Actually am a Nigeria and I have not been to Russia before but planning to go they this year. My friend is inviting me to come but Am just scared of that county. Please I need ur advice
There is nothing to be scared of. Really. Even if you travel alone.
The fact you will be in Russia with a local friens makes it even more safer.
Well whether I want to go or not, I will have no choice. Duty calls, and your experience gives me a better outlook on Moscow..
Thanks
Hello Oneika. Thanks for your post. Reading it help me to understand my situation with Russia. I am a 76 year old, African American male, who love to travel and teach around the world. Having two PhDs, and three masters have given me the opportunities to travel and teach. I have found that many of the things that you and others speak about in these posts, are quite true, in the countries where I taught. When I traveled with my wife, I was treated differently. I taught in Africa (1 yr.), Europe (3 yrs.), Turkey (1 yr.), China (6yrs), and in many states in the USA.
I was scheduled to teach in Moscow, this summer and fall. In both situations, the assignments were cancelled at the last moment. After much pushing for answers, I was told by one manager, they had to let me go because they felt that “parents might ask why their child is being taught by a dark skin person”.
Reading your post and others, has help me to understand just what he was talking about, not that I agree with his decision. I have experienced similar situations in china.
Thanks all
White men are perceived as being more imposing and threatening than White Women also. Just figured I’d point that out.
I’d also point out that as an average non threatening white male, I’m STILL welcomed more warmly when in the company of a woman whether it is abroad or at my local coffee shop.
I also think that ANY tourist is a potential target. Whether it is a lack of courtesy, a scammer taxi driver or worse. I know, as a Canadian Anglophone travelling in Quebec you are often treated with a lack of courtesy (putting it mildly).
Great article, and well written. I really like the inclusion of the personal interactions, I’m sure those people had no idea how impactful their ambassadorship was . Those kind of interactions are what I always take away with me when travelling.
Just some considerations, that I hope aren’t perceived to diminish the reality of travelling as a black person. I’m truly saddened that this blog is even pertinent.
In my opinion Russians aren’t racists, because Russia is a large and multinational country.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve wondered about this.
I would say that your experience there was a tourist one. Ask any black african immigrant, they will tell you that life there is hell.
Karma is real and know that love conquers fear. When people self hate it’s a internal dogma they carry to the world.
That’s true. They (any country) treat you differently when all they see is the colour of your money, or your perceived-money. Go there for a JOB and that would be that “horse of a different colour” you’ve heard so much about.
Love hearing about colored women traveling the world. I will be in Russia next year and was kinda nervous about how I would be perceived. Thank you for this post. The entire blog is really amazing and I hope to follow in your footsteps 🙂
P.S. I’m from the NYC area as well!
Colored woman!? What year were you born 1??!
Great article to read! And if you don’t mind me saying your husband is very handsome!!
I loved your blog. The only country I have visited is Germany (where I felt I was treated as a QUEEN) and I took a cruise to Jamaica (Did not see the people or land, only what cruise wanted me to see). I and my sisters are black and started 3 years ago travelling. Your blog is the only one stating to visit at your own risk. Altho I will not be visiting Russia soon, I believe we will have it on our list in 5 years or more.
I am curious how many racist black people you have encountered in your travels ? Surely you must have crossed paths with more than a few and with you being from the US there is no way you could not see black racists everyday.
Fake account since David duke is a white supremacist and former head of the KKK. And FYI: Blacks can’t be racist. We can be Bigots or prejudice but not racist. Are prejudice, bigotry, and racism the same thing?
No. And this is a HUGE source of misunderstanding.
Prejudice is when a person negatively pre-judges another person or group without getting to know the beliefs, thoughts, and feelings behind their words and actions. A person of any racial group can be prejudiced towards a person of any other racial group. There is no power dynamic involved.
Bigotry is stronger than prejudice, a more severe mindset and often accompanied by discriminatory behavior. It’s arrogant and mean-spirited, but requires neither systems nor power to engage in.
Racism is the system that allows the racial group that’s already in power to retain power. Since arriving on U.S. soil white people have used their power to create preferential access to survival resources (housing, education, jobs, food, health, legal protection, etc.) for white people while simultaneously impeding people of color’s access to these same resources.Though “reverse racism” is a term I sometimes hear, it has never existed in America. White people are the only racial group to have ever established and retained power in the United States.
Semantics. Ask 10 people what racism is; they will likely say something similar to what’s in my dictionary. “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior” Really nothing to do with the race in power. Reverse racism is understood by most to be racism practiced by blacks. I’m sure it’s always existed in America, clearly to less effect than white racism, as whites have most of the power.
Well said!
The discussion of your post Russian people!

Racism is individual, not just institutional. As individuals, we all have the power to hurt one another. However, though power dynamics of race in our society shouldn’t absolve some races from the ability to be racist, they should affect how we determine degrees of racism. I’d argue that, on average, a racist comment would cause a white person less harm or fear than it would cause a black person. I’m not sure how exactly one could measure that, but white people have it easier in America, and that shouldn’t be a contro
versial statement.
Black Americans are more racist than the whites in USA. As an African woman travelling in the US, I faced discrimination from blacks who projected hate as soon as they discovered I have an ‘accent’. The whites, on the other hand, were friendly and I was comfortable around them.
Mwethaga,
Funny you mention that AA are MORE racist than Whites in America seeing that Africans are the ones that sold AA to Whites in the first place lol. Not to mention the fact that Afircans right in Africa will let racist Whites steal their resources and beat them down and not do a thing.
I guarantee you that you came to the US thinking that since you weren’t like “those Blacks” (aka African-Americans) they were supposed fall over themselves to fawn all over you lol. I also guarantee you that like a LOT of slave-minded Africans (not AA), you made sure to treat WHITE Americans with a sense of subservience! You probably are like a Lot of Africans that like to refer to AA as “akata” and think they are lowbrow with no culture and it came off that way. It’s not freaking rocket science t figure out why you received a warm welcomed from Whites compared to AA now, is it lol? The Whites in America are so friendly to immigrant Blacks, that the want their president, Mr. Trump to build a wall and make it impossible to let more of your kin in the country lmao!!!
P.S.
Do NOT read the comments under the video regarding that crazy, nutjob Congolese woman that climbed the Statue of Liberty. The “good”, “nice” Whites in the U.S. are making some very…racist comments regarding that poor, mentally ill woman lol!
Moscow, 870 years. What the hell the tourists. My town older than America.
I think racism exists in every country and it is not good to say ALL russians are racists, because that is just not true. A city like Moscow is built for tourists and it lives on tourists too. So people in there just want to reach as many people as possible with their stores and their tourists business, and this includes black people.
On the other hand, Russia is a very nationalistic states, and since black people are a minority in the country, they will not be seen as pro nationalist, therefor can be hated by hardcore nationalists.
Hi all!!! I’m Russian. I live in Saratov. African-Americans have a lot. Students. I want to tell you. The concept of black and black ass is different. Blacks, we are fine. But black ass not. Who are the black ass: thieves, beggars, Gypsies. They have actually got. About someone pinched or slapped on the ass. This is a sign that you like. Many men so Express sympathy.
Hi Elena,
I run a trade and investment consulting business consulting In 20 years of travelling to Saratov, I have never met an African American. In fact, almost no foreigners. Where did you meet them?
There are many Tanzanian medical students plus a few from other parts of Africa. There are also Indian medical students and some Engineering students from Nepal ( I think they go to the Technical University). The few coloured people in Saratov that I have spoken to seem happy with their stay in Russia.
As a white male of mature years, people stop me in the street to ask for directions. On the other hand, one old lady used to follow me around the bazaar at 3rd Dachnya shouting “Nemets” (German). Again, as a white foreigner, I have been confronted by drunken youths but they were surprised at the amount of Russian I spoke, including swearwords and decided to let me go. It helped that I was recognized as living in the area and their grandmothers knew who I was. There have been pointed remarks at meetings of the Chamber of Commerce about British responsibility for Russia’s economic problems. I would never go near a football crowd.
So there is anti foreigner sentiment which may at times be difficult to separate from racism directed at black or (brown) asian people – it’s a bit different for pale skinned asians. Immigration of unskilled migrants from Central Asia is unpopular. However, at least 95% of people are friendly, supportive and helpful particularly if you have some understanding of the culture. I wouldn’t hesitate to take my mixed race nephews and nieces (two families) to Saratov. I keep inviting them.
Dear Oneika, I have enjoyed these articles of yours about Russia, and thank you for letting the world know Russia is not ALL THAT bad. If people could travel & meet more between US & Russia a world would surely be a better place. Non-acquaintance leads to hatred, that is so true. On the other hand, as many has pointed out above, judging whole Russia by its two capitals can not be precise in any way; on a real these two cities are a lot like metropolis with the rest of the state being colony – that is an idea of the rest of the country for you to think about if you are interested. As to racial situation I don’t see anything unusual here, this simply can not be any different. Black folks are rare guests in Russia so of course they will attract attention from people around, and some of them might turn out to be bad, pushy, obnoxious. Guess its pretty much the same everywhere in the world, thats just how it is under national politics.
,, its sordid political past (and unstable political future),,
This is really racist.
If you are touched by a man for an ass, then do not immediately hang a label on all the men of Russia. I think it happened to you because of that-a) this man with someone has concluded a dispute that he will do it. b) Your ass liked the man so much that he could not restrain himself. d) you met an idiot. When a man with black skin comes to Russia, he will realize that Russia is a country of white race. Therefore, a black man evokes curiosity . Russians are very kind people. But a lonely, pretty girl in a foreign country should still be more careful. You do not know our mentality, you do not know our men. Russian in your place or would hit the offender, or call this man dirty words. And yes – in fact, Russia is not Russian. This is a community of 180 nationalities.If you see a white man in Russia before you, it does not mean that he is Russian. He can be anyone – from the Caucasian to the Shorz, from the Ukrainian to the Chechen. Therefore, I’ll forgive you very much – do not be afraid of Russia. Come, travel and get acquainted with the Russians. Now it’s not 80-90 years of the last century, when criminals of all stripes walked the streets. Now a safer country than Russia, you will not find. I myself am not Russian. I’m Ukrainian. But I love Russia and Russians very muchRussians in the mainstream are defenders of justice. If you see the danger, just call for help. And people will help you. Just passers-by.
Hello Eneha, I like your post. I am a black man born and raised in England. Liverpool to be precise, and have often thought of visiting Moscow. I have always been curious about how I would be treated. I don’t believe all this anti Russian trash. Having read yours and other post I decided to reply to yours. Thank you for your input, I will visit next year.
That’s Elena 😉
The history of Russia is the story of another world. Russia is a completely different kind of civilization. Russian – for them there is no such concern for money, as in other nations. For the Russian do not care how much money you have, how many academic ranks or nationalities do you have. Russian is important, as you are a person; kind or evil, modest or defiant. Most of all in the world, Russians value kindness, justice, reliability and loyalty. Russians are very proud of their history. In Russian history there is a lot of heroism, self-sacrifice. So, never speak of the dark history of Russia . It is not true. Russia has a great history.
We are Russians. We never had black slaves. The state pursues marginal groups of neo-fascists. Does it very much, more than in Europe.
We were always good to American Negroes. Angela Davis and Martin Luther King are the heroes of our communist childhood. Communism strongly condemned racism.
But a white Amerkian can sometimes get into trouble in Russia.
I am going to Moscow tomorrow, albeit for a day But I will go. I might leave my valuables in an airport locker just in case, I am genuinely not scared of racism as I encounter enough of that In the USA and also back where I call home in Brazil , but I Love this post, maybe I will find a white man to go with me.
Anyways i’m gonna take a train from the airport to the Square take a few pictures walk around a bit and head back, hopefully i will post here on Sunday if I don’t Tell My Mother I Love her and someone go water my plant
I’m Brazilian and I keep wondering where’s that racism you speak of. Maybe what you call “racism” is a reaction to everything we see on the news daily. It’s because of people like Lazaro that many are afraid of blacks.
As a black male traveler, I have been blessed so far to not experience racism on my traveling journeys. I do get the stares every know and then but nothing I haven’t seen before. I admire your courage for traveling to a place that has countless stories of racism against blacks. I would love to travel to Russia but with everything going on today, I do fear for my safety sometimes. Places like Russia would have to be a group visit or at least know somebody. Not a solo trip like I normally do.
What city is that behind you 6 pictures down? Is that in the United States?
Your husband’s very nice looking. I don’t think I’ll EVER know what it’s like to be in a relationship. 🙁
Moscow and what is now called St. Petersburg have been by design, best foot forward shiny examples to the western film and press. Many residents of these cities have been conditioned through the past until present to know they uphold an international image which includes tolerance to American society of which Black people are integral. The stories of Soviet/Russian out of the way tolerance and accomodation widely disseminate throughout the cities and hinterlands of America. An understanding of the open cities of European Russia would be helpful.
Out of the interest of foreign journalists and westerners grasp of the now Russian federation are the small cities of the heartland. The small rural towns which Americans would on parallel value as having “wholesome living”, “ideal places to raise a family” may well engender a different experience which most likely not reach western press and niche media circles.
Moscow and St. Petetsburg are among the most westernised cities of Russia. Falling in step with Europe and American experience these cities do not disappoint western reports.
The Lake Biakal area, the whole of the Asian Soviet Union, the temperate area of the vast Siberian plains to the far east give a much better account of the Federation than the touristy or foreign impacted cities so often cited by the west, in this case American negroes.
The brutal facts remain that slavery in the Soviet Union and the Russian Fatherland was an internal function which negated importing Negro slaves. That said there are no Black sections to Russian cities or the multitude of smaller towns comprising the Russian Federation. The European cities of Russia are decidedly for the priveliged society and no doubt an over the top experience for the Americans including their negro attache. They have been the best vehicle for the spread of Russian opposition of racial tolerance. The are large populations of indigenous peoples throughout Asian Soviet who have integtated into the masses that their story of tolerance would be meaningless.
This means nothing. You are female, and females rarely experience “racism” other than as it pertains to society’s perception of beauty as well as sexual status, availability and other assumptions. The fact that you were with a white man makes this whole post even more meaningless – almost insulting, actually.
Did you read the post? I basically highlighted that my positive experience may have been supported by this factors…
I think you’re in the Sunken Place, like in the move Get out. Maybe being married to a white man you lost yourself some- And this does happen! Next time go alone and report back to us.
I think looking at Russia through American eyes,media foul I grew up with russians.i like them they good to me.
Well, I am an African dude presently studying in Russia. From my experience living here, whether you are African American or purely African, the Russians don’t see the difference. To them, you are dark skinned. I can say this because most Russians I’ve met initially think of me as an “American Black”, based on my appearance and English accent. There’s always this look of disbelief when I tell them I am African. Some even go the extra mile of asking questions like; “have you lived in the US before?”… blah blah blah. But that is not the point of my comment. I just wanted to dispel the notion of “I speak “American” English and present as a distinctly North American person”, because in Russia that doesn’t matter.
From an honest point of view based on my everyday experiences, being dark skinned in Russia means you will get a lot of attention and long stares (which can be very irritating) when you are walking on the streets, standing/sitting in a bus or at the metro. Also, the attention triples when you are with a white girl. Experiences in Moscow and St. Petersburg may be different. Russians living in these two big cities are used to seeing foreigners of other colour.
A piece of advice: As a back-up, be mentally prepared for “Monkey Insults”, sometimes in the form of a passing comment from a group of deranged people – This rarely happens, though.
Have I met nice people in Russia? Yes, the majority are! I have had many positive experiences where I was treated with love way more than I can remember. Have I also had experiences of being called a black Monkey by people I don’t know, for apparently no reason? Yes! For the long stares? You get used to it and turn a blind eye.
I hope comment this helps someone.
thanks for your perspective!
Long stares are a cultural thing. I am white and getting on in years. I often dress in Russian clothes. I have always been stared at in Russia for much longer than in other countries. There’s more to it than race. Usually, they are trying to work out who you are and where you are from. Good luck with your studies.
Thanks for your input. I’m currently trying to find somewhere to go (I’m actually French but “black”) where the people are not as obsessed as the UK and Western Europe seem to be, about telling you you’re “American!” by the way you speak English. I liked the part where they say that in Russia they’re not so in-tuned with the differences in spoken English as to be able to tell after two words out of your mouth whether you learned your English on North America, in the South Pacific, or the UK/Ireland. And hopefully they’re not obsessed with the US so as to have everywhere I go and speak not even a complete sentence and get bombarded with some reference to the damned US?? I’m French and IRISH, rather Northern Irish (if there is such a thing) so yes I speak English, much to my chagrin. I’m always regretting the fact that that culture is half of who and what I am, lately. It’s not just “because of Trump” as it happened during the Bush years too, but America’s politics dictate how everyone who has ever SET FOOT there let alone gotten a college degree or two there, is going to be treated by the rest of the world for the rest of our miserable misspent lives. I feel like I’ve spent my entire life looking for a JOB where I’ll be treated fairly!!
At the moment I’d just be relieved to get away from some place where I could be pulled over and arrested just for driving “while Black” or being someplace “while Black” or even “sitting while Black.” (All things that have happened to me in the USA.)
Thank you so much for this post, Oneika, and for your measured and balanced perspective. It’s been my lifelong dream to visit Russia however what I hear and see of Russian treatment of Blacks (from a Nigerian friend who studied there in the 80s; another friend – Russian Jewish – warned against visiting; not to mention countless news reports and documentaries) has been a big deterrent so far. Maybe some day I will get to visit L’Hermitage. I live in hope!
Funnily enough, Jamaica is one of the most racist places on the planet as is well documented on Google or YouTube.
I’m white and proud, and most people would call me a racist but I don’t really care.
Each to their own. Whenever or wherever so called multiculturalism is introduced and expected to be the norm, that’s when social cohesion and civilisation starts to deteriorate. Just my view point but there you go.
But to get a true perspective on racism and racist societies amongst black Countries that expect to live for free with no work input, look no further than Zimbabwe or South Africa.
Want to call me a racist, go ahead. Extreme right all day long.
No not racist just a nut job!
FYI: Blacks can’t be racist. We can be Bigots or prejudice but not racist. Are prejudice, bigotry, and racism the same thing?
No. And this is a HUGE source of misunderstanding.
Prejudice is when a person negatively pre-judges another person or group without getting to know the beliefs, thoughts, and feelings behind their words and actions. A person of any racial group can be prejudiced towards a person of any other racial group. There is no power dynamic involved.

White people are the only racial group to have ever established and retained power in the United States.
you sir, are a scumbag.
I personally have never had any interest in going there. I love warm climates so I’ll go anywhere warm or hot before I go to some place cold. Maybe one day but as of now it’s a weather thing that I need to get over lol.
In the 1970’s cold war years a number if black people were educated in Moscow, Leningrad and Odessa. They were brought out of Africa to learn economic socialist principals. The education the third world black received was to further the Russian influence in his home country. The African student returned to his country after his schooling. There is no black part to any former Soviet cities or Russian cities in modern times. A cold war ruse was that black people were warmly received by America’s enemy.
I’m afraid your pretty nieve but definitely a good hatred person. The lack of racism directed against you was in general due to the Russian attitude that blacks are actually inferior to whites, it was similar in Nazi Germany where surprisingly black people were treated well, once again the sentiment was there is no need to fear them as they are beneath us.
Would love to visit Moscow one day
Hi!
I am a black man.
I traveled to Russia in 2016. I was in Moscow, and then in the southern part in the Caucus Mountains. I too, was greeted well. I had no problems whatsoever in Moscow. Some people that weren’t from Moscow (probably from smaller cities) did sneak pictures of me, but that didn’t really bother me.
Once I got into the mountains, it was different, not in a bad way. We stopped at a Mcdonald’s, and when I walked in, all of the workers were in shock. They called all of the ones from the back to see me. Keep in mind, most of the people in the mountains have never seen a black person in the flesh. The way they were trying to see me wasn’t in a “what’s that” way, but more in a “Wow this is really cool” way. It was like me running into Beyonce. I’m not going to act normal, haha. From then on, a lot of people that I interacted with wanted to take pictures with me and welcomed me into their country and homes. One highlight part was when we ran into a class of students (probably middle school age). When they saw me, their eyes lit up like they just saw Santa Claus. They all hugged me and took pics and selfies. Again, it wasn’t out of any weirdness. My ultimate favorite moment was when we stayed with a family after hiking. There were two young children, a girl and her younger brother. The sister was 5, the brother was 4. I was the first black person she’s ever seen in person. After starring and smiling at me, we ended up playing a game where one of us hid a toy while the other counted and looked for it. She counted in Russian, I in english. Just to know that she didn’t run or wasn’t afraid of me because of my skin made me feel so great.
All in all, don’t listen to the media. Don’t base the country off of one interaction with a native. That country is full of love. It has it’s struggles as well (xenophobia) but it’s nothing to worry about.
Very well written article. I don’t know if Russians are more or less racist than average. But I do know that non Caucasians must think twice about visiting parts of the world where rule of law is arbitrary. There are evil troublemakers everywhere. They just tend to display more when they know they can get away with violence. Hmmm just realized that also applies to the police here in the States too.

I have never traveled to Russia or countries in Eastern Europe, but one thing that needs to be understood is that , as was mentioned, the people from this part of the world had a very violent and turbulent history, so it seems appropriate that they aren’t all “warm and fuzzy” to any outsider, whether they are black,
Asian or white.
Went on Cyprus holiday with my female black friend I am also black female only problems we faced was from Russians , they would not enter an elevator if we were in there, they physically barged infront of us at the bar the bartender told them to wait their turn, we had the lingering looks which was not just curiosity…would I visit Russia ? no thank you
Thanks for telling the truth unlike this moron.
Same. It’s the Russians I’ve experienced outside Russia that have given me a less than favourable impression. Long stares in nice resorts such Cyprus and Turkey. Stares that suggested, as black people, we shouldn’t be there/we’d stepped out of line.
Tell the truth you moron. It is like you can’t make up your mind in this. I’ll tell them to their face they’re racist. But their pride and arrogance is the worse. It is kind of ironic because when you watch the way they behave especially their women… They’re just like West African or African Americans.
I don’t get your idea. You call Russians racists but give no evidence.
Every race has good people and bad people. I don’t think it would be wise to judge a country on the bad ones. And besides, cheer up, because the new generation will not tolerate racism, sexism, and being homophobic.

I’ve only been to Africa but pretty scared of traveling to Russia
As someone who was married to a Russian at one time, I can weigh in on this one. He always told me never to go to Moscow by myself. And I think that’s the key point here; she was WITH her white husband. Horse of a different colour than me, divorced and “black” traveling alone and “sounding American,” I think that at least 80% of my problems in life the past 15 years have been because I’m alone in the world WITHOUT my White husband in tow.

I have Russians in the family and I was told Russians love their way of life and would die to protect it. They have seen what happens in the US (everything is labeled racist when people don’t get their way) and they refuse to allow it to happen there. I’m not sure if this is the general census.
I will say madam ease stop saying things to get likes and views on YouTube when you have only been in the country for vacations, i you keep misleading people this way its not fine. Have conscience be true to yourself do your video but don’t come to Russia for a few weeks on holiday with your husband and start saying what you don’t know given it a title like this : you havnt spoken on b half of stident here who are all by themselves neither did you speak on behalf of single ladies or men here all you went is moscow so why can you label your video that way have you being in other cities too No. Please you tubers should stop being hypocrites why are you even doing this to get likes from russians oh yeah you got it but I can tell 95% of them aren’t saying it what they are saying from heart , it’s bad cause you are on theor side saying nice things to their hearing it doesn’t mean they like your skin tone. Mind you you came with your husband you had a protection no one will abuse you or say foolish things to you because of your husband. With all die respect label your video well and only say things you think. I don’t know what you meant and why you decided to make this video look for something else to do please!!!! If you can’t label them correctly

I’m a black woman with serious wanderlust. St Petersburg is my next big vaca! Im going with my boyfriend who’s white and YES that does make me feel 100% safer! Not to mention the fact that hes 6’8″, 250 lbs and has biceps like tree trunks lol. I dont care if we get stared at all day. We’re still going. We get stared at pretty much everywhere we go. We’re Americans and live in Western PA in a sonewhat rural area. Hes 6’8, white, Im 5’2 and black. We’re a walking dichotomy. But we been together SEVEN years. Stares and rude looks dont hurt us.
Black British female here. Married to a White British male. I visited Paris two years ago for a long weekend, no problems. Have also visited the South of France (St Raphael) and absolutely loved it. No strange looks and great service. Here in England we have long-standing ‘jokes’ about hating the French and the French are described as being rude and arrogant but honestly, I will go back a few more times as I enjoyed it so much. And the weather in the South is lovely. Paris, I found overrated a little tbh so I’d give that a swerve in future. Now, if I was an African immigrant living in Paris I’m sure my account would be different. So I have to consider my status there as a British tourist and not as an unwelcome migrant. I wouldn’t fear going to Germany. We also visited Turkey. NO problems. But Greece, go to Greece, Naoussa is an amazing little island.
I’m Chinese, and I feel that this is a great article. I haven’t gone to Russia yet, although I have friends from Russia. Racism has made me hesitate, because I’m not sure yet.
Also, I know that us Chinese people have a bad reputation now, with the coronavirus and citizens being racist to blacks, which is totally not fair. I just want to say that NOT ALL Chinese people are racist towards blacks. I am a well educated student who grew up in an accepting household and an international school that celebrates diversity and love. At my college, I have black friends and we get along just fine. I respect them and they respect me, and my friends are from a lot of different nations. One of my teachers is black, and she and I also have a good teacher-student relationship. Please note that I am sorry if your experience in China is negative or if people were being racist and mean, and please know that even though some people are racist, there are always the ones who are friendly and caring. I hate that some of the Chinese are being racist and judging others based on stereotypes, and that is true, but also if you come to China and meet the friendly people (I know LOTS of Chinese people who love others no matter the skin color and country), I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time. (After the Coronavirus is over)
I want everyone to feel at home in any country, I guess, because that is only fair. It wouldn’t be fair if you are held back from a country because it has racist people. Racism should stop, and i feel that Chinese people AND Black people and EVERYONE ELSE ALIKE should be respected and loved for who they are.
Everyone is equal✌
Take care. Stay safe and happy and healthy

It is the western world’s perception us Russians are not friendly. We are; we just don’t know you and we do not show expression until we get to know you. Hard times, famine and war have engrained this position, regarding our views of foreigners. In WW II every family lost a loved one to the Germans as well. We have been through a lot more than North Americans. When one makes a Russian friend, it is usually for life. We are just more cautious of others.
mmmmmm,its good seeing people of the world together,in London there is an order and alot of far right Nazis and racists, people just dont talk openly,its not fashionable and many are out for themselves,there are many criminal racist incidents.This article opens peoples minds and is nice to see because it shows that everybody gets on with each other.
Russians are white, but have never participated in slavery. More than this, there was a serfdom in Russia, which means that most of russians were exploited by other russians.
This is why all this thing about BLM is not a saint cow in Russia. We understand what is it – to be not free. But we cannot be blame for this, neither this is saint thing for us.
This is also the reason why N* word doesn’t have any negative connotation in Russia, we’ve been taught to use it for black people, because it literally means black for us. Just get used to this. Anybody who feels offended by N-word in Russia and tries to push the BLM shit will get an aggression. Not because russians are racist, but because you can’t blame russians for what americans or europeans did.
I will tell more: many russians are still soviets, and Soviet Union was all about friendship of nations and economical equality of opportunities for all people of all races. Soviet Union was the reason colonial system has falled, and russians support this even now.
First of all who gives a fuck Life Is Life guys shit happened back in the day that’s why we look at it as history it’s over it’s done with we tried to learn from our mistakes but the funny thing is that no one talks about Africa sold the slaves so if you would like to blame anybody blame Africa but look guys we were all less-educated back in those days so can you please stop trying to make it a racist thing in which has become the most used word for the past year
You know who one of the first countries who participated in slavery was and still is to this day is it’s Africa they’re the ones that sold their own people as slaves to America

In the 1970’s cold war years a number if black people were educated in Moscow, Leningrad and Odessa. They were brought out of Africa to learn economic socialist principals. The education the third world black received was to further the Russian influence in his home country. The African student returned to his country after his schooling. http://Qualitybredcanecorso.company.com
stupid niggers complain about racism…..yes u r hated
stay around your own kind and there wont be any!!!!!duhhhh!!!!!
But it doesn t seem like Black travelers will be deterred. The publishers of Black Meetings and Tourism Magazine said in the 2018 Mandala report on African American Travel that this sector of the travel industry has been on a steady incline since the last publication of the Negro Motorist Green Book in 1966, just two years after the Civil Rights Act passed. The Green Book served as a reference guide for Black people traveling the United States filled with lodgings, restaurants, and other businesses that were welcoming. In 2001, the United States Travel Association named the African American market as the fastest growing segment in the industry and marketing has been heavily focused on courting Millennials of color.
Amazing blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
An excellently well-written article. I have never been to Russia, but I have met many Russians in Toronto and New York City. They have always treated me with respect. One even invited me to his place to study chess. He didn’t seem the least bit uncomfortable having a black person in his home.
Hello I was born in Russia in 1981 I would like to say that Russians are not racist at all as a matter of fact it’s the opposite as I was growing up a little girl we always looked at Black people as I good thing like American or For somebody from another country. Like “wow” to us. It’s hard for me to explain what I’m trying to say. Maybe I can try to make an example and hope it makes sense. Think of something that is cool or awesome to you like for some people it would be a car Lamborghini, or Gucci purse, or American dream like in the movies, Big diamond ring, something that you can say wow about. And then on top of it you hear them talking another language…. Which is even more wow. Don’t forget when you read her article it does say Russians don’t travel much so to us it’s like they came to us therefore we are amazed to see some thing we typically don’t see because we typically don’t travel. First time I saw a black guy in Russia I think I was about five years old I turned around and looked up and said wow wow mom did you see that did you see how tall he was lol. Our neighbor got lucky and actually had a relationship with a black guy and had a child with him we were hanging out with that child it was a girl,,, me and my sister always thought how cool it was that our next-door neighbor is dating like an American and we are hanging out with the daughter. I use the word American as an example. I hope I didn’t confuse anyone lol. … Long story short Russians are not racist whatsoever.
… I know this is a different subject but I figured I might as well say it ……
In fact I have noticed that Black people are smart and they catch on a lot quicker then A regular typical white American (not meant to insult anyone) I think it’s because they have more street smart so they are able to catch on quicker and have common sense quicker.
What is happening in Ukraine today these events had been happening for the past 20+ years, when Putin came into power by bombing his own people – civilian apartments and committing atrocities against the Chechen people. The response from the US, EU and NATO had been just complete silence and welcoming Putin to the summits and holding red carpet meetings for him. This further emboldened Putin who attacked Georgia in 2008 and conquered Abkhazia and Samachablo. What did the Western powers do? Absolutely nothing! Reset by the Obama Administration and warm handshakes by Merkel, total ignorance of the international laws and Putin’s war crimes against the Georgian people. What happened afterwards? Putin invaded Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. What did the Western powers do? Bare minimum of symbolic sanctions that continued to feed Putin’s war machine. Then Syria, use of chemical weapons, more atrocities… What did the Western powers do? Absolutely nothing!
So we are here as a result of Putin’s false perception that he could chew more than he could bite and the 20+ year ignorance from the EU, US and the NATO. Today there is strong response and sanctions that will take the Russian economy back to the 1990s indicators, however it is too late and too little. Ukraine needs the Patriot missiles, S-400s, S-300s, missiles to shoot down airplanes and incoming rockets at much higher altitudes than Stingers could reach, Ukraine needs much more firepower and the ability to control and close its own skies. Lets help Zelensky establish the No Fly Zone! The Biden administration looked weak, but slowly they are starting to wake up and see the true face of evil – Vladimir Putin who is trying to restore the new Russian empire…

Thank you for sharing superb informations. Your web site is so cool. I am impressed by the details that you’ve on this site. It reveals how nicely you perceive this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for extra articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found just the information I already searched all over the place and just couldn’t come across. What a great web site.
This is the profit that the commenter receives.
There are white-colored “black people” in Montreal, QC, CA, who know about a place called Montreata. That’s where the secret Canadian Concentration Camps are located. The reason that terrorist versions of “black people” look dark, is because of the residual effects of constant raping.
Canada, the terrorist-Chinese bi-product of greed, has fraudulent versions of all major regions of interest so that they can “get away with it [rape].”

I came across this article and enjoyed reading it. As a person of a darker complexion I have visited Russia several times and not just the more touristy areas. I do tan quite easily and can have a darker skin colour. There is racism in Russia but it is not so bad as elsewhere and I think only once did meet someone in Russia with racial views. But that person was later incarcerated and has since changed their views. I can experience more racism in the United States than I will in Russia to be honest. I have been all across the Russian Federation from St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Moscow, Siberia, Arctic Circle, to Vladivostok. Place your finger anywhere on the RU map and I more than likely I have visited a town or city just like that one. I have experienced much good reception from people all over Russia whether in large cities or small towns and neighbourhoods. They don’t like the image western countries make of them and enjoy being able to show visitors their true self. I can go further more but think it will lead into politics. That said I have also visited countries bordering Russia. I have a pretty good view. One thing I will say about racism, is to not give in or lower your self to a level where you are playing by racist views. In the US, I am a veteran and one day we were banging our heads and a handful of service members pointed out that I was dealing with racism in the US Government meaning non military government offices who are responsible for the safety and security or the US. I have actually been to Moscow to view real estate there. But with Covid and now the conflict in Ukraine. Who knows when I will be able to visit Russia again. The western world should really hold their heads in shame. It is the constant bashing of Russia, the refusal to work with Russia to resolve world issues that I believe the invasion of Ukraine occurred as in what other option. Hopefully this conflict will end soon and be resolved. But now we are entering politics. I have also visited Ukraine and met veterans from USSR era who feel trapped in this back and forth. Now in Kyiv and Chernobyl area, I was warned about racists similar to the Western’s white extremist types. Not so much in Crimea. It was alarming and irritating to say the least. I did sit down and talk with some young Ukrainians about it. The discussions were positive. Hopefully peace will return to the region soon. The fighting is not good for Ukrainians or Russians. A good friend of mine’s family is caught in the middle of this fighting so I am keeping a neutral view. Ended up in politics any ways. Lets hope for peace and not tolerate racism anywhere.

I went to Russia in 2016 myself. I’m a black man. I was in Moscow and in Kabardino-Balkaria. I totally agree and had the same experience. The people were so welcoming and loving. I did get asked to take a lot of pictures in KBR. There was one instance where the group I was with was supposed to have dinner with someone but they canceled because their father-in-law would be there and he was supposedly calling Obama a monkey man and they didn’t want me to go through that. Other than that, super positive experience.
I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it

And 7 years later, Russia shows the world who they really are. A bunch of cowards who killed millions in the past and now, seem eager to do it again. What they are doing in Russia in 2022 is proof that Russia is an evil country, led by some of the worst people in the world. I feel sorry for the people living there who don’t agree with Putin’s decisions and I hope that Putin and his circle pay dearly for what they done. In life.

“+I’m a black woman, not a black man. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge this. Black women that travel are less of a perceived threat than black men– blame mass media, who seem hell bent on propagating the idea that black men are imposing, dangerous, criminal.”
Do you have a thesis or are you an expert regarding this statement? Are you helping to stigmatize the black man with this statement, or are you helping the cause? You say “blame mass media”, and yet you spread this very lie through that same media. You’ll probably say you’re not mass media, but you are a piece of the engine. I found you, didn’t I? Words are powerful.
The hilarious thing is that I don’t see “black men” raiding countries across the world and colonizing them, so who is more of a world-wide threat “black men” or “caucasian men”? You are more than welcome to live “comfortably” in your white man’s arms, but please think twice before you unintentionally, or intentionally, degrade the brothers. Sorry, as an African American male who comfortably visits wherever I want in the world without issues, I am offended.
Your logo looks awesome, can you tell me who made it?
Just sleek!

books, as I found this piece of writing at this site.

HOW I GOT THE RIGHT LOTTERY NUMBER FROM A SPELL CASTER
I am a 59-year-old IT worker and it was going to be our 25-year wedding anniversary but we had no money to celebrate it. I was given an assignment in the office so I went online to search for answers when I saw testimonies of people thanking lord Bubuza for giving them the right lottery winning numbers, I was very interested to win too so I contacted lord Bubuza via WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214. Lord Bubuza responded, saying he will cast a spell and reveal the lottery winning numbers with his spiritual powers. I provided the items He needed to cast the spell and he gave me 6 numbers after casting the spell. I was so confident of winning so I went to a convenience store and bought a $10 Jumbo Bucks ticket from Gate City Express on East Lee Street in Greensboro and went home. I sat outside and scratched the ticket. When I saw that I won $1,000,000. My name is Licette Griffin, How can I thank Lord Bubuza enough? Are you a lottery gamer? Contact him via WhatsApp:+1 951 442 2214 or call: +1 507 400 0072 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework @ hotmail . com
My name is Sandy Doyle, I am a 58 years old grandmother, I worked in a warehouse for years and I love playing lottery games but always fail in winning. I was researching online one evening when I saw random Testimonies of people appreciating lord Bubuza for giving them the right lottery winning numbers after casting a spell. I spoke to him on WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214 for help and he said, I will cast a spell and the lottery winning numbers will be revealed to me by my gods(Oracle). I provided his requirements to cast the spell. After casting the spell, He sent me some numbers and said PLAY WITHOUT FEAR. I bought 2 lottery scratch cards in a local shop and played. I won £1,000,000 pounds on the first one but I didn’t believe so I scratch other ticket and behold I won £10,000,000 pounds again. I immediately retired from my warehouse job when my winning amount hit my account. Lord Bubuza is a great SEER and has changed my financial status. Contact him via WhatsApp:+1 951 442 2214 or call: +1 507 400 0072 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework @ hotmail . com

I did as he instructed and the spell was cast, he gave me the numbers and said I should go and play without fear. I bought the ticket and played. It was very shocking and surprising when i discovered that all the numbers lord Bubuza game me matched all six winning numbers in the April 6 draw. I became winner of $18.7 million with the help of Lord Bubuza spell. I will continue to appreciate you sir for making me a millionaire with your spell.

Youre just beautiful and thats why you dont get treated bad in any country u visit. Its not about race but about looks. Simple truth by simple me. If you want to experience some real racism you have to grow up in Germany as a Russian.
My wife and i were comfortable Ervin managed to conclude his preliminary research through the entire ideas he was given from your web page.

Most of the explanations you made, the straightforward web site navigation, the relationships you will help create – it is mostly awesome, and it’s facilitating our son and the family understand that idea is awesome, which is certainly especially pressing.

HOW I GOT MY EX WIFE BACK AFTER A DIVORCED BY THE HELP OF PROPHET SAMUEL A GREAT SPELL CASTER FROM INDIA
My Dear friends online, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex wife 2 years ago, which led to our break up. I was not myself again, I felt so empty inside me, my love and feeling became worse until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped him in the same problem too. His name is PROPHET SAMUEL. I emailed the spell caster and I told him my problem and I did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before I knew what was happening, less than two days later my wife gave me a call and told me that she was coming back to me. I was so happy to have my wife back. Thank you PROPHET SAMUEL for saving my marriage. You can contact PROPHET SAMUEL ,because he saved my marriage from crashing. contact him immediately via Email: prophetsamuelspelltemple@gmail.com Text/call Whatsapp +918200232522.
According to the author, I can recover the value to build each in just a few months. That sounds great, especially while using the rising costs of an electrical current these days.

Yes it is true that Dr BALBOSA is the best to restore broken homes and relationships. My name is Jojo Ivan and i was a client for DR. BALBOSA and i must tell you that he is a real spell caster. When i contacted this spell caster my boyfriend had left me for 2 years and i have always wanted him back to me. I met DR.BALBOSA to help me about a month ago and i have reconnected with my boyfriend. When my ex boyfriend left me it was turmoil for me. This became a disaster for me that i had a physiological trauma and my family were very worried about my health. After 2 years, I met DR.BALBOSA through a testimony also and he told me to calm myself that no matter what the problem is, he is well and ready to help anyone who comes to him. Just in 2 days, my ex called me and wanted to meet. I agreed and made preparations to meet him and he told me how he had felt guilty for what he did and he wanted me back. I praised DR BALBOSA for his marvelous handiwork and i will recommend him to anyone who needs a spell caster. Contact him to help you and fast at his email: balbosasolutionhome@gmail. com WEBSITE: https://balbosasolutionhome. com call/WhatsApp him on +1(325) 795-7665…God bless you…
