Racism in Russia doesn’t look like what you’re used to. There was no slave trade. No Jim Crow. And for most of its history, hardly any visible minorities. But that doesn’t mean racism doesn’t exist—it just wears a different face. In this cultural deep-dive, Soviet-born writer Elvira Bary explores how racial prejudice works in Russia: who it targets, how it evolved, and why it still lingers. From the strange rise of an African noble in imperial Russia to the eerie silence surrounding migrants today, this is the side of Russian society few in the West truly understandVideo Chapters: 00:00 Racism in Russia: Why It’s Not What You Think00:28 Racism, Russian Style06:26 How a Black Boy Became Russia’s Nobility09:31 The Yellow Peril: How Russia Learned to Fear the East12:50 Soviet Internationalism: Brotherhood with Conditions15:41 Children of the Festivals17:57 Still Living in the 19th CenturyMY HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK SERIES➡️ Russian Treasures (a historical novel about the Bolshevik Revolution and Russian Civil War) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DVSVC2WK ➡️ The White Ghosts' Empire (a historical novel about the Russian refugees who destroyed the myth of white supremacy in China in the 1920s) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F455FDZK➡️ The Prince of the Soviets (a historical novel about a foreign journalist who unexpectedly becomes part of the Soviet elite in Stalin’s Moscow) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5783KPKMY ADVENTURE / FANTASY THRILLER➡️ The Girl from the Labyrinth (a dark fantasy novel about a young queen, cast from her throne, who must save the man she loves after he’s accused of her murder) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4M8VZ9DRELATED VIDEOS:➡️ What’s Fueling Russia’s Ethnic Tensions?
