all right this is happening. the window and the reaction has been exactly the same as it was waved by. journalists in the us. the world reaction is made of green cheese. well you should be before you. started my interest i should say black americans in the soviet union in the thirty's was finding this portrait even though i'd gone to grad school of the master's degree in russian literature i speak russian and i had lived over there in the late eighties finding this portrait was was

a stunning development for me how did i not know about this. i didn't know that this was a phenomenon that there were many. african-americans who went to russia in the in the thirty's. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the same beauty union and many of the descendents still live in russia. and know now washed up at. least one. of the russians that i meet here the 1st part of that i want to speak russian and then . wait. in the russia that also. back home black americans suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that they lump us what the deal an idealisation still remain. smug 3 of them dealers isn't really one by else

a store but by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the or ask your troops who are workers who really do need to know to keep your ground grid. lulay a dwarf you go boom to go or. you. go as much in a significant christiane a from the debris of your glory and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. on probable worst times to go anywhere why not mean. when i come here. to.

my above because well it be at that exciting that a bit like odd oil available to the couple often i'm getting i need some on my ma but somebody in the addition of my about bush which isn't much of this is i suppose. dealing deal with this. i need a gun so pulling a slick on the team i don't wish to win you put this thing at the wall to ship. me a slap me ticket mixed race couples or such an issue in the united states i think rarely because of the jim crow laws of that intense. hatred of african-americans so this notion that you could mix. was was absolutely. you know impossible for many whites to accept that it was illegal in many states but you all my. know what benefit the most on your channel and they'd

seen it coming is not. much of a thought or. bullshits that i knew. or i see as much below which incredibly this isn't a new country being since it has a constitution they're actually. close to racial and gender and all different kinds of discrimination my grandfather george times. is from. virginia. and he ended up in russian the most peculiar way he was able to land an amazing contract with the ministry of agriculture in russia and he. got in a boat and then in the soviet union in 1930 s.

it's important to remember that this was the period of the great depression and it was also a period in which the soviet government was during a massive recruitment people with turkey who killed. he graduated in a versity as agriculturist there's no career moves there's no jobs and there's so much discrimination what he's supposed to do he went to a country where. he had no clue what was going on and you watch russia on the news soviet union communism why would you want to go there george times had a dream. and he found a solution and. history for some of the african-americans who went to school reunion in the 1930.

6 look at. cern james crabbers. james patterson became a national icon. famous circuits. the movie circus has an extraordinary story behind it i think it was said to be stalin's favorite. as you see in the opening scene there's a woman running from a an angry crowd threatening her and throwing rocks at her and realize that the bundle says and carrying is her black child. this german

impresario at the climax of the film reveals the truth to the audience in the circus that she has a black child and of course the soviet response is so what do we care we don't care if he's purple polka dotted. and then he goes yelling is passed. to various members of the audience policing him a lot by one of the languages or so. i mean it couldn't be more. saccharine and more propaganda stick by but it hit all the right nerves at the time as explain credibly popular even the song. that on the. air. was even a sort of a defacto anthem of the soviet union. it's

definitely fear to say that those who appeared yunior were the crown and leader and anti-racism. government. and. if you. think. you're right. i think michael that we. all know. that little black boy from the circus movie is now $87.00 he was born and raised in the soviet union he served in the navy as a submarine and he became an also he went short stories in the early 1990 s. after the soviet union collapsed. to the usa to his father lloyd patterson is home

land to translate his work into english he now lives alone in a social apartment in washington. or mina. moon there is. no call to go all. valuable. through all do you. through go there. baby boom. now so really do. they believe they're. going to patterson like many other african-americans moved to the u.s.s.r. to work on a contract basis but he loved the country so much he stayed and started a family here he travelled in circles in the soviet union and moscow there he would

not have in the united states you had a wife. 'd 3 sons career he was busy all the time his wife with. she was. fairly well known designer stage designer what he saw at that time and 132. in stalin's moscow however strange it might sound now he saw lots of opportunity there. were tears. in the big guns a little. more i'd see as earl of the. old souls. that only god. got but at the minute on the medication

spacek moscow could anybody come. this clip just a little. goes a. little above the. lunch so this point. so did racism exist in the sort of youth union. when the mildest of my own what are you on your body and the i beat this level up what's a reporter up asked them what happened after the iron curtain fell when the descendants of those african americans could return to america their ancestral homeland. to deal with and why now 100 years later is russia again attracting african-americans i love your skin. but the church on the 20th was the kind of the crowd that this is our way it's got to go. by the demick nose you know
