I love how Russia did a free Angela Davis concert and that's how I found out that Russia wasn't racist as america
Because Communism supported solidarity and freeing the oppressed.

Moral of the story: When moving to a new country, learn the language and assimilate as fast as possible
I'd rather say - integrate, not assimilate. Assimilation means loss of one's own native culture.
All this time ive avoided Russia thinking black ppl had no place there. But apparently there's a history there 😱
Yes absolutely! There is a long black history in Russia and a black population to this day!
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial yes...but it’s kind of exaggerated don’t you think? Because people have history literally everywhere. Greeks and other Europeans did a lot in China, but they aren’t Chinese, and never will be. (Same with Europeans in Africa) nevertheless I enjoyed the video 👍🏾👍🏾
@@-xnnybimb-9398 Go find 100,000 Mexicans in Poland then after that show me 100,000 Alaskans living in Brazil.
@@jurmynicohen202 why not give old world examples. But, africans were being traded around, it's no wonder they ended up in russia
@@BENNY-THE-DOG I stopped commenting a month ago, I already shut up buddy.
Thank you for speaking on this I'm watching from America.🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for making these videos!! So informative. I'm going to binge the whole series!😄🙏🏿
Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you like the channel! 😊✊🏽
This series is wonderful. It shows that African people have salted this planet in so many places, contributed in ways never taught in the history books.
I am looking for a George Dickason who traveled with Robeson to Russia in the 40s. He was my great uncle. I would love to know more about his life and if he stayed in Russia.
Actually, the part of the old USSR he lived in may be known as Ukraine now. It would be a blast to find out that I have family I can contact, maybe visit!
Excellent podcast. I’ve subscribed and shared with my daughter and friends👍🏿
Thank you so much! 🙌🏽
Never knew about that wow
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! This helps me to dig and research more ! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for this video!
Abram Gannubal wasn't a slave. He was kidnapped when he was 8 and given to the turks. He was later sold to Peter the Great. He was never a slave.
"He was sold" + "He wasn't a slave"?????
@@donnatate6327 yes
@@donnatate6327 Sorry for disturbing you a month after your comment. There are many theories on how Abram arrived in Russia, however it is a fact that upon his arrival he was freed, later achieving high positions in the government, travelling with Peter the Great throughout Europe (potentially influencing the contemporary European opinions on Africans) and was even considered by Peter to be his adopted son.
@@donnatate6327 Not sold, he was gifted to him by Pyotr Andreyevich Tolstoy (great-grandfather of the celebrated writer Leo Tolstoy) who thought Peter the Great would want one like the other European royals.
Being the mad lad he was, Peter the Great adopted him and personally tutored him taking pretty much every where he went. Gave him a stellar education far beyond most would get at that time and his patronage, his daughter also considered him her brother.
It doesn't matter what race you are, it matters how cultured you are
Very informative, thanku. I did a vlog about my visit to Estonia, such a beautiful place also.. also I've subscribed 😁
Wow! Great information. I never knew this.
Jamaica Jamaica my sister I didn’t know that also I didn’t learn this information in school jah know my sister thanks for the information bless again keep up jah work
Gannibal was not an enslaved African at all, he was Peter the Great's godson and rose to a position of very high prominence in both the Russian court and in military service
And no the Abkhaz black people were not slaves either. By Russian law of the time any slaves arriving on its territory were automatically free men (although the same didn't apply to serfs who weren't much better off than slaves). Those Africans were from some Ottoman ship that got wrecked on the coast, something like that; and then just settled in Abkhazia for lack of anything else to do
About Africans leaving the USSR after 1939 I never heard about that. But why would it be a thing, the war started just 2 years after that so can't imagine there would be enough time for a change in the racial climate. If they left, it was probably because of the war itself.
There certainly was some tension between the locals with African students in the 50s, 60s, 70s.
On the whole, poorly researched; you can do better :P
Thanks for watching! Clearly we have been reading different history books! But I appreciate you boosting my channel with your views and comments, thank you. Have a wonderful day 😊
Can you do something on the moors who were in Russia from the 8th century AD?
And I do think you have been reading from completely different historical books. More reliable primary sources can be found from before the mid 1850's. The truth shall truly inspire you keep going all the best 🤓😊
@@Trisha-sq4pu : I have to agree on this. There is history about the Moores, that is why it's so important to read the correct history books.
he was not his grandson .. he was his godson/ adopted son
Great video
Everybody was servant of Tzar by default, but Hannibal was his Godson. Later he became Russian Nobilty .
I was shocked this lady called him a Slave
This is amazing
very nice well done !!!
The end comment 🤣🤣. Excuse me while I go incognito mode...🙈
Love this
Thank you!
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY
Thank you so much!
That's bc US legit makes everyone think in the US that it only snows in Russia and we live with polar bears...we have 4 seasons and no we aren't all in the mafia
And you have no bears!
😆🐻🐻🐻🤣
Amazing
Note that what they did not mention is that in the Abkhazia region the African diaspora was introduced in the area by way of the Ottoman Empire which ruled the area until the Russian empire expelled them.
You should do a video on the African Diaspora in Germany.
I hope you enjoy the Afro Germany video!
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial I did thank you, oh and another thing, can you do a video on Louisiana Creole people?
Why you turn off comments section on Iran Africa?.
Wow, I had no idea of any of this history, Afro-Abkhazians?!
im afro russian thanks for this vid
Russia is very diverse
Cool! Ya'll Diaspora over there in Russia get and stay in contact with your people, in the States and the planet abroad. Sup? Love ya'll! Hotep
Recently, there have been, on the contrary, much more Russian males and African females getting mixed
Where are you from?
U forgot to add, at the very least, that the hostilities between 95-2006. Were based on the Nigerian heroin trade on Moscow streets.

When the covid 19 vaccine hits the streets, are you considering going to African Diaspora communities in various countries?
Sure, I'd love to do a TV series visiting African diaspora communities in different countries! That depends on many things, mostly getting the funding and of course waiting until it is safe to travel.
How do you identify Egyptians, morrocans, Sudanese etc in Russia? Because these are also Africans so what if you're referring to black immigrants instead? They could end up maybe not even being of African descent but melanasian or aboriginal
Why is it every time an African out side Africa is a slave what about the moors who traveled to Europe ?
Exactly what I was thinking I asked the same.. the moors were in Russia and Europe from 8th century AD ..maybe even before ...and they were definitely not slaves.
March on Moscow's. Now that sounds like boss level.
Sorry I just saw the video pop up at the end of this one.
Soviet Union won WWII, and you are talking about the pact, like SU was with Hitler. Learn the history. Do you know how many soviet people was killed, villages burned?
Thanks for your comment Olga
it would be interesting to look at the sources about the pact with Germany and leaving the country. looks like a bunch of bullshit.
They think that the non-aggression pact was some kind of an alliance. It wasn't, it was just a non-aggression agreement that Germany violated.
WHAAAAAT!!!! Interesting.
4:59 Putin is smiling wow!
What ?!
Africans that finished school in Russia were needed in their homelands to rebuild countries. But why didn't they take their wife and children with them ? Or come later to get them. !?
I'm from Belarussia, you are cute.
There is no way Abram Gannibal could be from Cameroon.
1st because Ottomans' authority never stretched that far as Cameroon (and Abram was presented to the Tsar as a gift from the Ottomans)
2nd the Turks called him Arap for a reason: "arap" means "arab" in Turkish. Most people of Ethiopia and Eritrea are Semitic, that's why the were called Arabs, whereas people of Cameroon are black African, and there is a different word for them in Turkish - "zenci".
Hello Hello
African presence in Russia didn’t begin with slavery smh
It might have been custom to have black servants in west but not in Russia !
Again, she looks white with slight tan and quite beautiful. The one drop policy is not Russians. Most people in US look more white than black
Hi, thanks for watching the video! I'm biracial, 50% white and 50% black.
@@Alephnull2024 the American one drop rule had economic causes and was not an ethnic notion. The goal was to leave out offspring with slaves from inheritance and maximize the number of slaves.
In the Carrebean there was no one drop rule because there was no policy to exclude mixed Race from inheritance, therefore soon appeared
a mixed planter class in the Carrebean. These are all notions of settler societies in the new world, and have nothing to do with other world regions.
@Higher Order Reasoning laughable and totally untrue
Im half black . Half white Half Austrian. Half Zimbabwean.
he original people that inhabited North Africa, original Hebrews and their Egyptian neighbors( Don't forget the Pharoahs), southern Europe, parts of Middle East and the Moors who ruled Europe for 700 years were black people.
They were the first voyagers of discovery. They travelled around the world. Christopher Columbus found them in the Americas. Wherever they went, they also built pyramids. Most of the voyagers got stuck because they lost the technology to get back. Using the theory that the earth was one land mass doesn't carry water. Guess this is because people think it was impossible for blacks to have the technology to sail. Stereotypes. Though scattered and thousands of miles apart, the tradition and culture remains similar.
Question is...at what point did the Arabs hijack the Egyptian treasures and Europeans hijack the Bible characters and voyages of discovery? And at what stage did the black group got weakened and slavery start?
Maybe they weren't black. Black people are not only indeginous to africa so what's stopping other races from being indigenous to africa?
Nor . Nor i devenir aimez la Russie car ils bon histoire rencontres les noires autour au monde entier!
5:09 almost looks like michelle obama.
