Look man, I have never been to Russia but from what I know from Russian friends, there is nothing in that country.  People die in the winter of extreme cold because many houses do not have heating facilities. No social benefits and no jobs. A Russian lady friend of mine has been in Brazil since last year and she told me that she prefers to live the rest of her life with her Brazilian boyfriend there than to go to Russia.

My advice to you, don't go to Russia, not even to study. Many Russians are thinking of a better place just like you, so what are your chances if u go there?

I have lived in Moscow and Sakhalin Island both in Russia, let me start by saying it all depends on where you live and what you intend to do in Russia.

There is a significant racist community in Russia

A lot of Russians have never seen a black person before or come in close contact with a black person so they might see you as a star and want pictures with you or your autograph believing you might be a star!

Now listen, Russian women are amongst the most beautiful women in the world, as a single man, if you live in Russia whether you born again or born before grin it is almost as sure as death that you will marry a Russian and as a Married man living in Russia alone without your wife, it is almost guaranteed that you will always stay married but to a different woman grin grin and your current wife will need to look for a new husband

Moscow is very expensive as a regular breakfast in a 4 or 5 star hotel cost about £50 and locals are not well paid

My summary is this, no matter where you live in this world apart from Naija, you can make the place fit for you but in Naija it is the opposite

I rest my case

Russia o, yet Eto is going there to play football and earn huge money.

A country is as good as you make it.

I just read that a black man contested and won a political election in this same Russia, so it's what you make out of Russia that Russia makes you.
Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by Alinco20: 9:25am On Aug 11, 2011
As far as i am concern Russia is the best place for black to live. I will rather live in Russia thank to Live in USA, UK, Germany, Or other European country.

If you will ever want to be successful in Rusia, learn to speak thier language and always be friendly, know when to stay away from them when they are drunk. Don't walk at night alone or a lonely way. These are just simple rules. The Russian respect you when you are educated and speak their language.

I am sick and tired of western condemination on Russia, Other countries are not better off. UK and the USA now are the worst place to live.

Be aware that no matter where you live in this world as a black man, you will always remain a second class citizen.

I rest my case,,,,,

Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by cescjay(m): 11:52am On Aug 11, 2011
Ive been living in Russia for 5 yr now,not the best place to live neither is it the worse.It also depends on the city you reside in and what you are there for.Moscow is the best place for a foreigner though its very expensive n the competition is very high,there are so many smaller cities that are not Sochi,Krasnodar,Rostov,Veronish,Ekaterinadar, etc
the language is difficult but if ur a fast learner like me that wont be a problem.
Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by Outstrip(f): 1:06pm On Aug 11, 2011
Please educate me small. Do drunk people just walk up and down the streets of Russia. Why are all the people that live there talking about staying away from the drunk Russians
Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by Nobody: 3:08pm On Aug 11, 2011

Ask those who are staying in Russia.

It makes sense if you stay away from people you're living a lonely life. So, Russia is not a friendly place - for those who are defending Russia.

Aberdeen!!! I think Aberdeen is probably worse than Russian. Cold, rain, racist people all over,enough junkies and their funny accent. I don't even think it is English they are speak most of the time.

Totally wrong view of the average Scotsman! In my opinion, the Scots and the Irish are among the nicest people in the world to foreigners, I have even found them much more nicer than the English. How someone would say Scots are "cold and racist" beggars belief, certainly not the Scotland I know!

I would rather be in Somalia than be in Russia because I can't stand racism. The Russian govt. knows that their society is full of racists. I saw where Medvedev commented on how they are fighting racism during a session on Sochi 2014.

Many professional footballers have complained about the rate of racism in Russia. I'm surprised the way you are defending the country here. The world is a global village and no longer easy to deceive somebody.

They need to fight racism in Russian. Racism is worse than tribalism, no comparison!

It's good for you. Average black people I have seen complain of racism about Russia. If you are discriminated against your skin on daily bases in School, train,etc what is actually good about the things that make it a good country? Russia we know it to be is poor when it comes to providing social amenities. Russians are among the poorest in the developed world. The money is in the hands of few criminal billionaires. The oil and gas make them one of the richest billionaires, not the ordinary citizens as you are alluding to here. We are talking about racism in Russia you are telling us about how you travelled with their passport.

Anyway, you can't deny the fact that Russia is a racist country and one of the worst in the world!
Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by talulah(f): 11:52am On Aug 12, 2011
@Osa332003

What type of job can you get in Russia after spending all all those years in School and learning their language. Factory work? unless you are in the medical industry. A black man [/b]with a Russian wife and Russian passport is still a [b]black man regardless of where you go. So, you cannot still deny the fact that Russia is a Racist country.

I'm Russian and I live in Russia. Russia is not a racist state. Most of the Russians indifferent with respect to the blacks. They are not thinking about Africans. People who beating or try to kill blacks are active MINORITY.
Many Africans and half-Africans have become famous people in Russia. Half-black people sang in pop music groups Premyer Ministr and Slivki. Black immigrant Пьер Нарцисс have become famous singer in 2000s. Yelena Hanga and Anton Zaitsev have become famous people on federal TV. In Russian national basketball team played few half-blacks and citizens by naturalization.
In some African countries ( Liberia, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone) whites are the second class people by law. In Russia racial discrimination is prohibited by law.
