One player on the Russian female curling team is an African.
So there are a few of them in Russia.
Oh, there are most certainly Africans in Russia. Not a lot, but some. Many there are students on scholarships at universities. You'll find that throughout eastern Europe. There are lots of stories of blacks being assaulted and beaten on the streets of Moskva and St. Pete by these drunken 20 year olds who are unemployed and bitter. They roam in packs attack anyone who looks "different" or non-Russian. A bunch of losers.
I believe Puskin's descendants live in Moscow. One of the most revered writers in Russian literature...who was black.
