World Cup 2018
See historical architecture in Moscow and St Petergsburg
Vodka and caviar

World Cup is an event that happens in other countries as well so it doesn't make Russia appealing. People just want to see the World Cup. I don't think anyone outside of Russians are jumping for joy that it's in Russia.

However, clearly, you find something appealing about visiting that country so good for you but I don't think I or any other black person will be missing out on anything by never going.

I went there three years ago. I'm a huge fan of russian history especially the revolution and soviet era. Stayed in Moscow only and visited the lenin mausoleum which was :banderas:
If only that fool kruschev hadn't removed stalin's body I would've seen the vozhd himself.

I had an awesome time. I was with two friends who were cacs so I'm not sure how it would've been if I was by myself, But I saw lots of Africans and surprisingly quite a bit of half black half russian people.

I spoke to the Africans about racism and yes they said it was pretty bad and they usually travel in packs but they also said it's mostly at night when some of the young dudes are drunk and shout racist abuse at them, but they just ignore it as fighting back isn't advisable.(they simply don't have the numbers)

Personally, I went out every night to bars and clubs and didn't face any racism. Most of the dudes were really interested in us and asked me questions about where I was from and I also chopped it up with the old folks asking them questions about their experiences during the stalin era. :lawd:

I would say if you're not into russian history, it's really not worth it.

I'd like to visit.
I hear it's becoming a wasteland rife with drug abuse though.

I don't understand longing to visit a country that is so openly bigoted. Some of Nikkas are lost.

Russia is below freezing most of the time, why would a Black person go there??

The racism is in your face, from a violent people that are not afraid to get physical!!

Their food is terrible from what my cousin said..all they have is dairy products.

Hot easy women, but thats the very reason you'll get killed. Why do Black men get so comfortable when with cave bytches.
