Roy lives in Bryansk, a city 380km (236 miles) south of Moscow, where he is not the only African student, but all of them, he says, experience similar racist treatment.

"That incident with the taxi - it happens a lot. I just decided to video it this time to show people. It's the same every time. It happens to my friends too, but they can't talk about it because they don't speak Russian.

"It was very hard to put up with every day, even though I went to one of the best schools in town, specialising in maths and physics. I couldn't stand up for myself there. I didn't tell my parents about it. My big brother protected me at school. Sometimes he had to get into fights for me."

Isabel dreamt about moving from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to a place where she would be able to walk down the street without people looking at her. Both she and her Dominican dad were routinely stared at.

"When I moved to St Petersburg everything was so much better, I began to forget that I look different. But later, when I started work and needed to rent a flat, I felt the racism again."

'Slavs only'
It was particularly bad in Moscow, says Isabel. All the letting ads said "Slavs only".

"When landlords heard my name on the phone, even though I had a permit to live in Moscow, they didn't believe I could pay the rent. I had to arrange to meet them in person, so they could see I was a normal person with a normal job and wouldn't turn their apartment into a drug den.

"Whenever I meet new people, as soon as they relax the jokes start. I either ignore them or join in the banter, if I can see that it's just teasing. If you get angry every time it'll make you a nervous wreck."

Once, when she attempted to report an incident of a white man openly m**turbating in her direction on the metro, the policeman’s response was simply: “Why are you so surprised? You look exotic, that's your problem to deal with." In another case, when searching for an apartment with her white Russian boyfriend, the couple routinely encountered posts that racially discriminated against prospective tenants. “It's really common to see this sort of thing,” Masha’s boyfriend explains. “One time, we went to see an apartment, which we didn't even like. But after we left, we looked at the same post again and it had a new description, saying that it was only available to Slavic renters.”

Russia's economy is struggling, it's not favorable to Russians to talk of migrants.


Their racism prevented them from spreading their technology wings to other continents and make their economy stronger. They are only good in ammunition production, hacking and crude oil bunkering.



They have zero international politics and inter-continental relationship to foster a thriving economy like the US and others.



Italy too is a struggling economy........you need ttecno&sourceid=chrome-mobileg[b]lorified West Africa.[/b] Zero social welfare for her citizen unlike some European countries.

You need to understand the language and culture first. That would really help.

Working here without speaking Chinese is kind of hard unless you work as a teacher.
