Hello,
I was recently offered a job in Moscow or St. Petersburg as both office locations are in need of my position. How is the dating scene for black women and do you know much about the small business community because I would essentially be starting up a small business on the side there as well. Any help that you could give would be great. thanks.
how would you say russians and americans differ or are alike in their senses of humor
Good question.

search for a cartoon of ussr, year 1949, in russian is called-"Машенькин концерт" - where russian girl gets a doll of african american boy, but then asks her mom why this lovely doll is so sad and mom says that in USA people are evil and they torture black people,so this little girl makes a concert with another toys to make that doll smile and to be happy -- Anti USA and Pro-African propaganda,that's why USA also hated USSR
Thanks

Google Black in Norway by Felice Blake (a black lady with American privilege) - the part about the attitude people hold towards non western immigrants describes the situation rather faithfully. Sorry for all the asks, but I can’t let this slide. There is a lot of talk about racism in poorer countries, but almost nothing on racism in the richer ones. I can’t help but think it’s because the richer ones control more media resources and want the world to think that they are too good to be racist.
Thanks

What is it truly like living in Russia as a black woman? My mother is half Russian/Afr and my father African. My parents have always let me know how ignorant the vast majority of native Russians became immediately after the fall when it comes to race. They've always suggested that I would be in danger if I were to journey there. I was raised on Russian food and so when I go to purchase items even Russian shop keepers in London treat me oddly and are uncomfortable. How is it over there? Any bad?

You live in Russia? would you please tell me what its like, I'm currently thinking of moving to Russia for university, im black russian but have forgotten most of my Russian as i left pretty young and my mother pretty much stopped speaking Russian with me in the states. One of the main reasons why I want to move there is to get fluent in Russian again. Thanks x

Hi! I'm a black girl from US and recently took up learning Russian. Do you live in Russia/haven you visited? I'm curious how black people are treated there. I was sent your way by Tupaya-Devushka on here :) or do have any advice in general for a black girl studying Russia?

My friends were so thrilled to sit on the plane next to the most homophobic politician in Russia (the one wearing glasses) that they decided to take a little selfie with him. It’s going viral in Russia.

I’m shocked and appalled with the murder of prominent Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov. Things should never go like this.
While I lost my sleep over that news, my inner linguist makes mental notes on the vocabulary of the news stream and compares Russian and English...
