Can/t say that was my experience....I honestly think that sometimes we scare ourselves out of doing things just based on rumors....sometimes you just have to get out there and see it for yourself and stop watching these scare mongering youtube videos.....
NOW that's not to say shyt doesn't happen and that living there may be a totally different experience....BUT I went there back in 2011 for about a week and i loved it...and received nothing but love over there from everyone. I could have easily bagged blonde/blue eyed and dark haired jewish/central asian women all day....but i wasnt there for that....
And I'm as black as they come...I was at the Kremlin, all around Moscow, St. Petersburg, Stalingrad, took subways, and boarding trains etc....no beef what so ever, and had a lot of good convos....and I noticed that I was literally the only black guy there....I think I saw one guy who might've been Jamaican and living there.
Honestly, the only reaction I ever got was some people were just shocked that someone black would even be interested in touring their country....but it wasn't on some ignorant shyt....people were just genuinely curious about my interest there.
But i walked everywhere alone, and untouched...everyone was nice though.
I remember taking the subway and getting off and getting onto the street...and when I exited there was like 50 white dudes by the entrance/exit in their 20s with buzz cuts and everything just looking at me....and they were literally on some

......

....

and went on about their business...
I ran into a lot of soldiers and cops...and they were all nice, took photos with me etc...the only bytch...to my own arrogance is that very few people spoke any English...so it was always tough asking directions. Usually the younger folks knew it somewhat...but the older generation had no idea what i was saying...
The only other bytch is getting the VISA...where you have to pay 200 bucks for, and already have your tickets 3 months atleast in advance....and you have to go the embassy on a scheduled date to pick it up....just a lot of petty BS....
But I'd highly recommend everyone to put away their fears and check it out.
