Living Black in Russia

Whoever said there is dignity in labor is right on the money and if you are a resident in Moscow, you would have noticed a new breed of African “business” men and yes, women taking pride in making a living in this mega expensive city.
Who would have thought it was possible for a black man to make a livelihood (no matter how undignifying the job may be) in Russia of all places? Are times changing or its just the “never give up” attitude we are born with?
Even the news about Mr Crima (from Guinea-Bissau) a watermelon seller turned politician and vying for a public office in Russia did not move me that much as compared to this new breed of “business” men and women. It took me several days to get used to seeing these very fine young men and women on the streets and most especially at the exit/entrance to the metro transport system distributing all forms and types of print flyers!!!

Making a living

I ask myself, are they students just trying to make some money or grown up men with families here in Russia or back home? Are some of them stranded here? so stranded that they can’t afford to go back? Who employs them and how much are they paid for brazing the cold weather and nasty looks from passersby? are there no other jobs available?
Maybe I should summon the courage to interview some of them because I’m very much interested in what they have to say. I guess I will do just that.

  1. Can someone answer the following questions for me:
    How many Africans are in Russia now? How many live in Moscow?
    What are some of the prominent Africans in Russia today?
    What is a typical night life of Africans in Moscow?
    Thanks,
    CQ-A

  2. Hi CQ-A. The number of Africans in Russia is a figure nobody knows but the vast majority of Africans are obviously in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
    We do have a local politician, a few artistes and radio hosts. Not many I’d say.
    Night life? It depends on what you are looking for but I make it bold to say that people generally love to party in Moscow.
