The ‘alternatively talented’ European media, affected as it is by the Bacillus Tolerantis, has decided to show us some new wonders. Unable to find something to build complaints about the World Cup, they started spinning a myth of racism in the Russian team.
“Russia’s World Cup Team Bucks Multiethnicity Seen On Swiss, other Teams,”; so read the captions under a photograph which was posted last week by the conscientious Radio Free Europe. The material that accompanied the picture tells us that Russians are intolerant towards people with a different skin colour.
Even if we ignore the fact that the image used is old and that Russia’s World Cup team composition has changed, the pigheadedness of these “civilized people” is still amazing.
Everyone knowns that we have a multinational country. Players in the team include the Ossetian Dzagoev and the Tatar Kuzyaev as well as other nationalities, up to ethnic German Roman Neustedter, who missed this championship because of an injury, and naturalized Brazilian Marinata Gilerme, who speaks Russian almost without an accent as well as another Russian Brazilian, Mario Fernandes.
But the West keeps squawking: “the Russian national football team is the most nationalist team in the world Cup “… “How could this be,” they say, “Russia is a multinational state, but there are only white people on the photograph?”
I think that our media is completely wrong in trying to avoid this topic. It was necessary to discuss this before the championship, but it is not too late to do so now. Since the West harasses us claiming that we have a “nationalist team,” when our journalists write about the European teams, they should write about the history of the countries from which their non-white team members come from.
For example: “France is playing today. Do not be surprised at the racial composition of the team – during the colonial era, France occupied many African countries inhabited by blacks and also annexed Algeria. For this reason, it is difficult to see the faces of the native French in their national team, as it turned out that the blacks and Arabs with French passports make much better footballers.”
“And this is the Swiss team. In the past century, neighbouring countries used to recruit Swiss mercenaries, some of them still protect the Pope, so now the Swiss themselves recruit mercenaries from Albania and from NATO’s annexed Serbian province of Kosovo.”
And so on, and so on. Reasons aplenty. But we remain silent because of the forgiving nature of the Russian soul. But the Europeans, as you can see, are not silent. At the very least we know that our country did not bring slaves from Africa to its ships, and therefore representatives of black peoples live in Russia only in very isolated cases, but the “enlightened” Anglo – Saxons still don’t even know that there is a nationality called “Tatar”, and that “Tartar” is only a sauce.
Only a person with the intelligence of a baboon could write that “the exclusively white composition of Russia’s national team is proof of Nazism”. No, no, no, no, no … Nazism is when you put black people in chains and poison the Chinese with opium. If the world’s most northern world power is populated by people with white skin colour, it’s because of our climate. Even the Brazilians who came here are white, as other races are incapable of enduring our harsh winters.
And all citizens of our multi-ethnic country love our multi-ethnic team for what it is. Many victories to you guys!

My research of the war on Donbass is available at the saker.community book store
The War on Donbass, which is called by the Western politicians and media the “Russian aggression in Ukraine” was a staged psyop.
My illustrated investigation titled Pokémon in Ukraine reveals how this psyop was staged, by whom and why.
another western attack on Russia. funny. this one..but entirely illogical
I am a Black man and I like Russia as it is ..white. that Russia is white seems quite natural to me.
and there has been a solid, modern direct Black influence on Russia anyway..the Negro of Peter the Great, the architect who designed St Petersburg… and his famous descendant, the great Russian writer, Alexander Pushkin
and Black people do not need to be there in the flesh to have influence on Russia. Black people influence the world by and in the things we do well..as we are effected and influenced by the world wherever we are.
and of course there is the historic Black influence that underpins global civilisation..the fact of being first and developing civilization that is the model upon which all human is built.
Time we start seeing the human species for the whole, interconnected fact that it is. that should put an end to all possibility of stupid games like this one developing here
Abram Petrovich Gannibal was rather known as “The Moor of Peter the Great” (Russian: «Арап Петра Великого», Arap Petra Velikogo), the unfinished biography by Pushkin of his great-grandfather. English mistranslations made him “The Blackamoor of Peter the Great” or “The Negro of Peter the Great”.
He was elevated from ‘slave’ of Peter the Great to nobility and had descendants even in the British aristocracy, which shows how much ‘racist’ the Russian Empire was!
Thanks for this note. This explains why Pushkin did not have African features, as Moors or Maurs (the name comes from Greek word Mavroi => black) were not black. They were just “Sun Baked” people from North Africa mainly Marocco, as well as they populated southern Spain (Andalusia?). They were conquered by Spain in ~XVI century.
Pushkins ancestry comes from Cameroon in equatorial Africa. His forefathers came from Logone. A good book on his ancestor who was one of the highest ranking general in Russia’s imperial army. This brillant Russo-African also built a school for Russian army officers. https://www.amazon.com/Abraham-Hanibal-Dieudonne-Gnammankou-2014-09-10/dp/B01FEP5KOG
It may be that “Black” and “White” are deceptive and non-useful terms when we speak of race.
Here’s a “official” list of races that the freedom loving Murkan state has published.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/RaceCodeList.pdf
It’s non-scientific…and has hundreds of “races” listed, all conflated with nationality…
What does that tell us?
It is a scientific fact that there is more genetic variation *within* so-called racial categories than there is between them.
E.g.:
“. . . If separate racial or ethnic groups actually existed, we would expect to find “trademark” alleles and other genetic features that are characteristic of a single group but not present in any others. However, the 2002 Stanford study found that only 7.4% of over 4000 alleles were specific to one geographical region. Furthermore, even when region-specific alleles did appear, they only occurred in about 1% of the people from that region—hardly enough to be any kind of trademark. Thus, there is no evidence that the groups we commonly call “races” have distinct, unifying genetic identities. In fact, there is ample variation within races (Figure 1B).
Ultimately, there is so much ambiguity between the races, and so much variation within them, that two people of European descent may be more genetically similar to an Asian person than they are to each other (Figure 2).”

I am going to chime in again:
I agreed my son who is an anthropology grad that our approach to anthropology is diametrically opposite,as
I consider him totally brainwashed by political correctness and modern educational system.
Looking at my prehistoric (non-modern politically incorrect) from 1969 encyclopedia I read.
Race is a subcategory of specie. They can be identified mostly by profile face and and or other features (Pigmy,
Maasai). Here we have nose width and shape. Type of lips, forehead, etc, etc.
Notice that there is no ethnicity so far? The key to those races is that they can mix
and produce offspring. An interesting example here will be horse and donkey. A mare jumped by the donkey
will produce an offspring which is a mule, but reproduction stops here as mule is sterile (So, they
seem to be the same species, but I am not sure).
So I am going to end with the following: There are groups of races:
Europeids – Narrow and strongly scalped nose
Negroids, Australoids – Wide and flattish nose.
Mongoloids, Laponoids, Eskimoids- flat nose.
Indigenous people of South America (I do not know which race category they fall into)
There are also Semites (generally referred to as Arabs) who invaded ME and Northern Africa in
about VII century, they came from Arab Peninsula.
Eye spacing and shape, ear shapes are other factors. We can go on and on.
As you see, there is no Ethnic or Skin Color division. Skin Color division is a fiction. Skin color is only determined by the evolutionary process as protection from exposure to extreme sun light.
Curious question:
Hollywood constantly pushes “Human Race” down our throats, do they suggest that Humans and Apes (Chimps, Orangutans, Gorillas) belong to the same species? Hmm, maybe they do, I don’t.
Also, ethnicity is being pushed down people’s throats just to for political reasons (divide and conquer).
Am I mistaken in thinking that the USSR suported the Pan-African Movement and the great AFrican leader, Patrice Lamumba Am i mistaken in thinking that hundreds or maybe thousands of Cubans (with all kinds of ancestry) were educated for free in the USSR?
OK, I am not confusing the USSR with the RF. But I think these types of comments on ethnic makeup of Russian teams etc. are essentially about the history of “Western” countries and what it was in their history that brought nonwhite minorities to their shores, and their teams.
Yes, of course Russia was an expansionist imperial power (like Britain and the USA), but its imperium stretched to its south, southeast, and southwest. Not to Africa. Not India. Not to Turkey, except as respects the Crimea and some other territories the Russian managed to wrest in one way or another from the Ottomans and the Mongols!! No black faces there! But,. other ethnicities.
So, but, while we are at it, let’s give creidt where credit is due when it comes to what Russia in whatever historical form did to help Africans, Cuban, and probably members of other ethnicities from the global South.
As opposed to enchaining them and then having these other ethnicities streaming back to the “mother” country. Where a few of them managed to make good careers as athletes.
These countries have *zero* standing to call out Russia for the ethnic makeup of its team.
In so doing they just reveal their own basically racist, color-seeking lens and their cluelessness as to their own countries’ and also Russia’s history.

Addendum:
In the USSR a university was named for Patrice Lumumba. The purpose of this university is described here (Wikipedia):
“Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia . . .
The government of the Soviet Union founded the University on 5 February 1960. Its stated objective during the height of the Cold War was to help developing nations. Many students from developed countries also attended the university. On 22 February 1961, the University was named Patrice Lumumba University after the Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba, who had been killed in a coup that January. The stated purpose for establishing the university was to give young people from Asia, Africa and Latin America, especially from poor families, an opportunity to be educated and to become qualified specialists.[1] The organizations that have been mentioned as founders of the university are the All-Union Central Soviet of Trade Unions, the Soviet Afro-Asian Solidarity Committee, and the Soviet Associations Union of Friendship and Intercultural Relationship.. . . ”
Did France, Britain, the USA, or any other Western country found a university specifically for the purpose of helping those they had previously oppressed by imperialism acquire education and the skills needed to run their own modern states? The USSR attempted to redress the balance, tried to help the vicitms of imperialism and oppression, tried to help right the wrongs inflicted by others. Again, pundits of Western nations with an imperial, racist history have *zero* standing to call out Russians for “racism.” It is effing absurd. When will someone throw their history back in their own smug, self-righteous faces?
Katherine
I have a short answer for you, this was dictated by the “Communist Brotherhood”. During and shortly after the Vietnam War, the universities were full of Students from Vietnam. As far as I know, the current and the one before president of South Africa studied in Moscow, if I am not mistaken Idi Amin (Uganda), and Mugabe as well. I heard of people from Tunis, Kenya as well.
And yes, I remember the mourning after Lumumba was murdered.
A balanced comment free from cheap bigotry and hate! Your comment leaves one in good spirit on a hot Thursday!
“I think that our media is completely wrong in trying to avoid this topic.”
Who does this guy mean by “our”? RT does a nice take down of the zionazi-gay psywar.
Too white to win? Russia boasts one of World Cup’s most ethnically diverse squads
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/431933-russia-squad-racism-world-cup/
“SOCHI – Before a ball was kicked, you could have filled a book with nasty, obnoxious, mean-spirited and loathsome takes on this year’s FIFA World Cup. They ranged from predictions of Russia using chemicals to slow down England players (BBC) to British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson equating the event to the “Hitler” Olympics of 1936.
While people here laugh at this sort of plainly outrageous nonsense, other forms of deceit invoke feelings of anger. And one which seems to especially irk Russians is the false representation of alleged ethnic conformity within their side.
Two American media outlets have notably spread disinformation on the subject over the past month, Mother Jones and RFE/RL. The former’s facepalm-worthy scene-setter told us how “Russia’s national team is too Russian, which is one reason it will bomb out of the World Cup.” Meanwhile, the US state broadcaster told us last weekend how “Russia’s World Cup team bucks multi-ethnicity seen on Swiss, other teams.”
Complete nonsense. But first, let me explain Mother Jones’ theses. The writer, one Clint Hendler, appears to be slating Russia for not having enough black players. And, as a consequence, he – rather embarrassingly – believed the “Sbornaya (a term for the national side) will be defeated in the first group stage, delivering an embarrassing rebuke of the nation’s insular approach to what has long been a very global game.”
RFE/RL’s attempt to bolster the false narrative came a fortnight later, after Russia had defeated Egypt and Saudi Arabia, dashing Mother Jones’ hopes.
Malamud mentions how “Peter Odemwingie – the son of Nigerian immigrants who was born and raised in Russia – refused to play for Russia several years ago, opting instead to play for Nigeria.” But this isn’t accurate. Odemwingie was born in Uzbekistan when it was still a Soviet republic, before moving to Nigeria at the age of two. He attended secondary school in Russia for a period, but began his professional football career in Nigeria with Bendel Insurance. He was capped at the age of 21 – suggesting that the Super Eagles snapped him up before he ever appeared on Russia’s radar.
Incidentally, Odemwingie, who played for three seasons at Lokomotiv Moscow in his late 20s, recently stated how “racism in Russia has been exaggerated.” The player noted that supporters who travelled here for the tournament would change their opinion of the country: “In general, there’s no such problem [as racism] in Russia,” he told RIA Novosti news agency. “Many people will come to the World Cup in Russia. Their perceptions should be changed. They will communicate with people and see things as they really are.”
But don’t expect to read his views on an American news site anytime soon.”
(Article describes the Russian team players)
“In Russia, there are almost 200 nationalities and 147 million people, but the squad can only contain 23 footballers. Nevertheless, it’s fair to say the Russian selection is broadly representative and hardly confined to ethnic Russians. In fact, the team that plays Croatia on Saturday night will be far more diverse than its opponents.”
In USSR the diversity of Russia was promoted. In current Russia, it is the same. Those promoting ethnic strife in Russia are the same whether they live in Russia or outside. They are the same scum promoting ethnic strife in every country where the right wants to maintain control or regain control. Call them fascists, nazis or zionazis, these are all the same psychopaths.
Divide, isolate and then conquer, the mo remains the same.
This critique sees and projects the world through the lens of contemporary American racism which means, and only means skin color/pigment. I remember a diary in a democratic party website a guy claiming the Soviet Union was racist as he did not any black people in a propaganda video. The video’s message was basically the unity of the Soviet Union showing scenes from what looked all the republics.
In fact, when the US was setting quotes against undiserable groups early last century, these prohibed groups were thought of a as a race, as the Italians are a race. Certainly this echoes in James Clappers remarks that Russians are genetically prediposed toward villiany.
And what this imposed vision does is deny the reality of murderous racism of such groups as the (real) German Nazis. By this level of projection, the Nazis did not in any way act in a racist manner toward Jews nor toward the Slavic peoples. Oh they were genocidial but had nothing to due with their ideas of race and eugenics because their victims were “white”.
The implication here is that there is something inherently evil in an all-white team, or an all-white anything.
Yet when I look around the world, I see many countries that are all Asian, or all black. Why is there no uproar over this? I hear mainstream politicians in Africa saying “Africa is for the Africans”, even that the whites must be killed or driven from their homes, and there is no uproar about that. I see a nation that is nearly all Jewish, and that is openly racist in its immigration policies, and there is no uproar about that, either.
Why? Why are white people exclusively expected to assimilate all of the world’s cultures into their own and roll out the red carpet for them? Why are white people uniquely called upon to sacrifice their societies upon the altar of multiculturalism? What kind of mentality calls for that?
Is it white guilt for real or imagined crimes, some that are centuries old, and that in any case can be attributed to any race? Is it to satisfy some notion of open borders, a’ la George Soros? But if that is so, why isn’t every country called upon to do the same? Why can Mexico build a wall on its southern border but yet it is considered hateful for the USA to do the same on its own?
Russia isn’t monocultural. Far from it. It isn’t even mono racial. But the team is “Too white”, somehow. Funny, no one ever looks at an NBA team in the USA and says it is too black, or doesn’t represent the ethic diversity it should because there aren’t any whites on the team, yet when Russia dares field a team that by and large looks, well…Russian, it’s a problem.
The people who write this drivel have an agenda, and it isn’t to promote multiculturalism. Quite the opposite. It is to divide and conquer. Keep the people fighting each other, and they won’t notice the man behind the curtain. Black vs. white, women vs. men, gay vs straight, brown vs yellow…it is all designed to keep you distracted from the money changers in the temple.
Cui bono?
Russia is guilty of the sin of having a large white population and not being ashamed of it. To appease the afromongolian EU, Russia should begin to flood her country with Africans and Arabs immediately like western countries. Today whites are a minority in London for example, wouldn’t it be progressive if tomorrow whites could be a minority in Moscow?
“Census reveals white Britons as minority in capital for first time ”
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/census-reveals-white-britons-as-minority-in-capital-for-first-time-8405998.html
The Western media has gone insane. My suggestion is that the rest of the sane world does not need to waste its time and energy on everything the West is going to say.
The West is destroying itself. Just make sure you prepare if they want to bring you down with them.
What about Poland, Croatia, Japan, North Korea, to mention only few, they all have the players of one color!
Diversity means less/no White people it does not mean an equal or natural race mixture. BTW the Islandic team is even more “White” I wonder why? must be racism!
Reminds me of ice hockey and Willie O’Ree. He came up to the NHL in the late 50s when 99% of all NHL players were Canadian. The problem is there were very few African Canadians then. Even 20 years later I could count the number of black skinned kids in my town on one hand. It was only in the 1980s that Carribean blacks started coming to Canada in numbers.
O’Ree did not face a colour barrier the way Jackie Robinson did in baseball. He was just a rare breed, a negro who played hockey, and had enough ability to crack the six team NHL for a short while. He actually played with my uncles.
Basically, Americans, and some other Western countries through their own guilt in mistreating Africans (among other ethnic groups) in the past seem to like to project those prejudices on others whenever they get the chance.
Would be tolerable if accompanied by a single European quote to match the allegation.
There is a quote – but it comes form Mother Jones, a US website. You might also find something on RFE – which is of course a US propaganda station.
More of the same from globalists, who cannot accept the fact that Russia did not break up, as planned by them. Worse, Russia is on the rise and becoming very popular. This was quite unexpected. Well, they will have to get used to it.
Before the World Cup began, the British media started a campaign of vilification against Russia, doing it utmost to dissuade British fans from going. To a great extent it succeeded. However, when those British fans who did go to Russia started praising the country on social media, even the British media had to change it’s tune. Now all flights from London to Moscow have been sold out. The only positive aspect of vilifying Russia has been the fact that the Western media outplayed itself, losing credibility in the process.

that is a terrific development..a tremendous Russian achievement. it leaves the Zionist hag T May looking like the monstrous traitor she is, a witch as great as her american harridan almost counterpart, H Clinton…with the faeces stain in her behind, seeped through her pink skirt that exposed her incontinence
no wonder the British Zionist fifth column drove out all May’s competitors and got her in uncontested. they knew what they would get for their money. T May is the real deal of the traitorous article, a British bulldog-like of a determined traitor, relentless in her drive to reduce the English to chattel slaves.
anyhow it looks good on the English. what goes around…….
sweet as it is, the destruction in turn of the English by their own hand, after centuries of doing it to others… it would be better for the world if the English rose up and tossed May and her cohort, including the English Zionist fifth. charge and arrest her..if not all of them.. and try her for treason. then put her away for the rest of her miserable, traitorous life
Simple.
Russia did not colonise africa. _ that is why ?
Now that goes against russia according g to english?
Why is Ruslan Ostashko trying to counter the argument?
The argument here is that “the Russian team is white because Russia is racist”.
The obvious answer is “Yes, the Russian team is white because that’s what the majority of Russians are”. There’s no need to try to deflect the accusation.
Russia is guilty because it refuses to have open borders and accept all 3rd country immigrants in the world? That’s actually fine! No need for an apology. No need to prove you’re “diverse” because you have Tatars and so on.
Most European countries have decided to commit self genocide. This is wrong and it’s already starting to backfire. I predict major economic problems and ghetto wars in the coming years.
The French football team looks more African than French and that’s sad. It doesn’t represent the country anymore. But that’s exactly what the Anglo-Zionists want. The erasure of free and independent nations so that their globalist agenda is fulfilled.

Most blacks (myself included) have a great love and respect for Russia/Russians. I am from the West Indies living in the US, have never been to Russia, yet I admire the place/people. Slavs were not a part of the original sin (slavery), as far as I know. And; if so, certainly not on the scale of Western Europe. Slavs did not plunder Africa of its resources,while murdering “good” leaders in favor of the corrupt and the despotic.
If Europe and the US is carrying the ‘burden’ of the brown and black skinned “invaders”, then that is the outcome of their actions over the span well over 200 years to current day. The modern Mexicans are the original owners of the US landmass, and it was the sweat and toil of the black African that developed said lands.Europe willingly went along with US on its orgy murder and mayhem across the Middle East and North Africa, and deserves the resulting karma.
Russia (even the USSR) was not a party to this, and even (as in Syria) tried to stop it. There is ZERO issues/problems between Russia and Brown/Black people, but there might be some ‘clever’ white people trying to create one. {hint,hint} –Russia stole nothing from us and owes us nothing!!! We like and admire Russia just the way it is…a great nation, and at the moment a guiding light to the rest of the world.
I am a Nigerian who comments here occassionally. It is quite hilarious to watch the western media (plus the CIA outlet “Radio Free Europe”) scrambling to find something negative to say about Russia in the wake of its successful hosting of the World Cup. This “racism” stuff is just one of those nonsense.
In any case, there are some Black Africans (myself included) who look at the racial composition of the French Football team with a level of bemusement. To my mind, this “La Françafrique” team is more representative of the French Foreign Legion than it is of local population of France
bemused at the French team is apt indeed. what are they now on the soccer pitch..100% Black? the French Foreign Legion! hahahaha. very funny!
I lost interest in the WC of soccer long time ago for the fraud it is..a banker orgy at the expense of the people of host nations..and the dictatorial FIFA bureaucracy that can even dictate to governments, within the jurisdiction of their nations. FIFA is now more powerful than some nations..or most nations in soccer
that is long past a game for me and structurally set up against developing nations in favor of the western Euros. Brasil broke through and as a kid coming up Pele’ was a name of wonder and magic. but age and clear eyes can make a difference.
the French of course, and the Dutch too make citizens of their former slaves and colonials..at least some of them. French and Dutch west indians are citizens of those colonizes and can go play for the ‘mother’ country..if they are good enough. but is looks like its only those who are good enough to play for France..the colonials. I have not seen a Dutch national team in a long time..since the days of Neeskens and Johan ‘Cryef’… but I imagine the Dutch team too is also very Black.
I am not sure if French Foreign Legion had any non Europeans. Remember that French Government used them in African Colonies to conduct Murderous Acts. Think OAS in Tunis, not to mention other places. Congo, Nigeria? Thousands of people murdered. They were nothing but paid assassins. OK, I am including another murdering lot like Portugal and Belgium, who like France use their ex-colonials while pretending to show diversity.
My apologies, I meant OAS in Algeria.
Oh yes, I remember seeing French movie dedicated to the assassination of Lumumba (if I remember correctly he was assassinated by Belgian secret service).
Only the virtue of piety defines race in Islam Not the Color of the skins not physical attributes genealogy or health status .
And now England just lost to Croatia — the latter also an ”all white team”. Racism prevails, eh? Or was it Novichok taking its toll on the English?
And what about Croatia, not a single forigner and not a single non white player??? GB lose a big in Moscow (and they are not a racist country /s)
And they are talking about racism.in Rusias team??? ;-)))
Can’t wait for finale with France (colonial force once and still).
The natural and automatic recognition and awareness of race is often conflated with the “ism” as in “racism”.
What precisely is “racism”?
Racism takes place when the awareness is amplified and modified by law and rhetoric (generally of a propagandist nature, ie without logic) in such a way as to create a division of the class in question – generally the working class. Obviously men who have a desire to avoid honest life and honest work exploit racial awareness in order to create racism, to benefit themselves. Racism is an artifact, often of despots and criminals, or “capitalist” rentier deadbeats too lazy to work, that is created for a purpose, exploitation of honest people..
Racism is thus correctly seen as a variation of divide to rule.
The awareness often comes with some preference for one racial characteristic over another. It is not so simple as it may seem, as often in natural settings, “whites” prefer “blacks” and so forth in a large set of possible combinations.
The proof is seen in genetic analysis…we’re “mongrels”.
Ask cui bono and you’ll discover the hows and whys of “racism”.
Sudden mixing of races makes this diabolical manipulation easy, and bloody…
Maybe Soros et al knows this. Ya think? (that’s sarcasm)
There are in fact substantial racial variations, try having a baby at 20,000 feet in the Andes. The race that lives there does it every day. Europeans would die. Negros do better in warm climate than cold. But individual variations are generally more significant in the short term, while the soft and constant racial differences abide and tend to prevail over time.
The evident fact that we are discouraged or even forbidden to discuss racial variation honestly and rationally is a solid indication that the ruling class benefits from the racism they themselves promote (of course they pretend otherwise).
Well, I agree with you we are all mongrels (sort off, as we do not want breed with our close relatives) and it’s to our benefit, as even in ancient days of humanity, people discovered that inbreeding lead to many problems and I am not going to bother listing them.
Don’t forget Paul Robeson, who fled to Russia to escape the racism of the USA.
I thk Robeson fled the USA because he had been blacklisted (no pun intended):
“Educated at Rutgers College and Columbia University, he was also a star athlete in his youth. His political activities began with his involvement with unemployed workers and anti-imperialist students whom he met in Britain and continued with support for the Loyalist cause in the Spanish Civil War and his opposition to fascism. In the United States he also became active in the Civil Rights Movement and other social justice campaigns. His sympathies for the Soviet Union and for communism, and his criticism of the United States government and its foreign policies, caused him to be blacklisted during the McCarthy era. ”

African and Arabs with French passports, what does that mean ? Many players are from caribbean french territories called outre-mer that became french possessions since the 15th century even before continental european cities like Lille, Besancon, Metz, some part of the Pyrenees and Corsica just to name a few. Furthermore, all players of African origin like Mbappe are born and bred in France. It’s their country, their ancestors fought in World War One and Word War Two and built France with their sweat and blood. During World War Two the capital of Free France was in Congo-Brazzavile. If France has a seat at the security council, it’s only because of Equatorial Africa and Leclerc’s African tirailleurs army.
I believe this, and the following page, could explain the relative lack of “white guilt” among modern Russians. Make of the following what you will:
https://irrussianality.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/russia-and-the-east/
Another difference is that, while the Western powers were either Catholic or Protestant, imperial Russia was Orthodox.
