those who say only. what started my interest i should say black americans in the soviet union in the thirty's was finding this portrait even though i had 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 pursue a view to union and many of the descendants still live in russia. and name

it the most because you know no washed up at all stuck yes you've got. some new way of setting up and the rest of the day meet here the 1st day like hey you're part of that i want to speak russian and then like wait wait wait. the mashup that also. back home black american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that the love of the real and ideal losing still remains. smothered them dealers' the issue and one by else of. the 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 rear troops who are workers who really do need to know to clear the ground grid 3 clear out. lulay a dwarf you don't want to go or. you. go as much in

a significant rescue in a from the comfort of you as you grew up and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. on possible worst time to go anywhere why not mean. when i come here. my above was well it be at that exxon that lick od oil you've got to hold them to this couple off and i'm getting i need sun on my ma by somebody in the addition of my a bob which is this is i suppose. dealing deal with them i

need a gun so pulling a slick on the team i don't wish to win you posting it to boucher misled by me a ticket mixed race couples or such an issue in the united states i think for her because of all 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 children meeting is not. so much of a thought or. bullshits that i knew. or i see as much below which in particular this isn't a new country being since it has the constitution there actually. codes 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 contracts 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. keith graduated in a versity as agriculturists 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 union in the 1930. 6 looking 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. scene there's a woman running from a an angry crowd threatening her and throwing rocks at her and at the bundle says been 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 yearly is passed. to various members of the audience policing him

think you can. think why couldn't we. look. at a little black boy from the circus movie is now 87 he was born and raised in the soviet union he served in the navy as a submarine 'd then he became an also he lived short stories in the early 1990 s. after the soviet union collapsed. to the usa to his father. homeland to translate his work into english he now lives alone in a social apartment in washington. or mina. moon they. want to go all. valuable. through all their real. through

their. baby boom the. now so real do. they believe there. could be good with moving. jim's father 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. travelled in circles in the soviet union and moscow there he would not have in the united states had a wife. 3 sons career he was busy all the time as wife with. she was a. 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

this level up what's reporter would team up ask them what happened after the iron curtain fell when the descendants of those african-americans could return to america their ancestral homeland get them an important. to deal with and why now 100 years later is russia again attracting african-americans for skin. but the choice in the 20th was the kind of war the proud faces our way in the thick of ideas. historically speaking in the cold war was a great ideological confrontation western liberalism versus soviet communism according to joe biden the great geopolitical struggle of our time is democracy versus autocracy for by we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological actor . problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous. but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we seem
