Why is there such a small Black population in Russia ? Is it because of geography or politics ?

History. Unlike the Americas and the Caribbean, African slaves were not imported into Russia. There were enough white serfs to meet the needs of Russia's feudal lords and aristocracy. With the advent of Russian capitalism, there were enough local whites to work in factories and shops. After the Second World War, the communist regime began offering free scholarships to Africa, the Caribbean and other Third World youths. Those students were expected to qualify in various fields of study and return to their countries and contribute to their development. It so happened that a few thousand blacks and other foreign students married Russian women and took them away from Russia to their poor countries. A considerable number of those wives got frustrated with third-world living conditions and remigrated to Russia without their mixed-race picknee. Mek yuh own conclusion now, comrade.
