this portrait, even though i'm going to grad school, the master's degree in russian literature, i speak russian. and i had lived over there in the late eighty's finding the portrait was, was a stunning development for me. how did i not know about this? i didn't know that this is a phenomenon that there were many african americans who went to russia in the, in the thirty's. in the 1920s infiniti of several 100 african americans moved to the soviet union. and many of their descendants still live in russia. there was no no rush for us. the stock. yes. you choose to nice things where it says richard lum, duck issue. the russians that i meet here, they 1st say like a pay your partner, that when i speak russian and then wait, wait, wait the nation that oscar back home, black americans suffered from racism under complete lack of prospects.

he's acting up a month the deal and i'd be losing should still be one by one foot by 2 inches. 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 african americans who went to soviet union in the 1930, found great success monet, though, if you want to call me as much. i think it's a good question. you know, almost a 100 years later a history is repeating itself. my great grandfather, george time, went to russia on probably the worst time to go anywhere. why not mean?

what if i come here? i me. my above while it looks like on the school all is all them off and i me to send them my mom. but me and i'm in my bubble skin, which is more should it is as close to the others could be really deal, which is short. i made a gun. some bullying is slipped from my bumps kavinski don't wish to when you need to show me a me to get mixed race. couple of horses issue in the united states. i think primarily because of, of the jim crow laws of that, that intense hatred of african americans. so this notion that you could mix

was, was absolutely impossible for many whites to accept that it was illegal in many states. but you know, my bumps convinced service because i, you know, put them on your shuttle when they deem it come. when use my, my status. we let them store that i near near or i see is much below which is really good to know if this is a new country being she, since it has a constitution that actually sense that they're opposed to racial and gender and all different kinds of discrimination. my grandfather george time is from us mitchell in virginia. and he ended up and rush in the most peculiar way. she was able to render an amazing contract with the ministry of culture room in russia. and he pretty much got in

a boat and ended up in the soviet union in 1930. it's important to remember that this was the period of the great depression. and it was also a period in which the she'll be a government was doing massive recruitment people with technical skills. ah, he graduated university of agriculture. there is no career moves. there's no jobs. and there's so much discrimination. what are you supposed to do? he went to a country where she had no clue what was going on. you watch, rush on the news, soviet union communism. why would you want to go there? george time had a dream and he found a solution. and he made history.

some of the african americans who went to soviet union and in 1900 thirty's, found great success. you look at lloyd patterson and his son, james patterson. james patterson became a national icon. the baby in the same as film circuits. i read or you know, d b, believe the movie circuit as an extraordinary story behind it. i think it was said to be stolen. favorite the opening scene as a woman running from an angry crowd,

threatening her and throwing rocks at her. realize that the bundle she's been carrying is her black child. this german impresario. as the climax of the film reveal the truth to the audience in the circus that she has a black child. and of course, the soviet responses. so what do we care? we don't care if he's purple or pocket out it and then he, little jimmy is pass to various members of the audience who e thing him a lullaby. and one of the language is the me, me. i mean, it couldn't be more soccer and more propagandistic by 2, but it had all the right nerves at the time is incredibly popular. even the song

should have gotten should have that on my right. and i was even a sort of a de facto anthem of the soviet union i it's definitely fair to say that the soviet union where the prominent leader and anti racism at the government level. if it's not just the frame, yes. is it the i teach again? i think. what, hello. what was it? what was that 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 sub mariner,

and he became an author. he wrote short stories in the early 19 nineties after the soviet union, jim patterson moved to the usa to his father lloyd patterson's homeland to translate his work into english. you now lives alone in a social apartment in washington. the fin me, monday though she's going to go for bell in low mean, but then we shall on the real truth together. we shall be variable in the room. well, to read to say that the be only when will news categories, mood, jim's father patterson, like many other african americans move to the u. s. s. art work on

a contract basis, but he loved the country so much. he stayed and started a family here. he travelled in circles and the soviet union in moscow that he would not have in the united states. he had a wife, 3 sons, career. he was busy all the time. his wife was vera. at oliver, she was a fairly well known designer station designer. what he saw at that time in 1932 in stollins moscow. however, the stranger might sound now he saw us of opportunity there. oh oh oh oh no. they may again from home.

the godaddy dolls pretty. who should after that? i'm good. good polity, mclaughlin medical own slim, our solution magazine. mm hm. assuming a 30 good car yelton's quick enough to go into just said i don't want mr. shelby, i me to go over the story middleman and some new my own. and i do go to start the la bama it to start with in this a ross, the daughter is to be an actor robot ross was born and raised in russia, now lives when her son james near moscow in a big country house. james was

a talented athlete as a boy, me in the late 19 eighties. he played for the reserve team, one of the country's leading football clubs, sparta moscow. daniel billy got the petosi. this group is too liberal. us no, loosen little or believe you sent me to my question much. so just to did racism exist in the soviet union see up when you my list of myoma you on your business level. promote order, watching a possible what happened after the iron curtain fell, when the descendants of those african americans could return to america, their ancestral homeland give them an important substance for it. and with that, what's the deal with and why now a 100 years later is russia again, attracting african americans? i love wish and most of the children could have put it couldn't probably be some

way to go. i have often said transfer fee for the powerful receipt for the kids about privacy . what people care about is power. julian, a sons is become a symbol of the battles of brevity, information is power. that's what's going on, or a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who think democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what to do. watch houses help shift the conversation around transparency . see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian might be coming to an

end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful game plan. in such a situation. it's remarkable. survive was what it was in the, the person who did the progressive, but something you would prevent them with the whole sudden level of what's, what's going on with the film is what i would like you to do because i'm sure it seems to me when you've got the west point with them. so this was the peach coming from,

from the news for kind of still the same i was giving you some club logo to me as a senior on one of our schedules the john cruise. what are one, why do you think that us them? i mean, on i, we still live. oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change that that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific

establishment, ah, what's driving the mac, it's corporate, me. ah, just the actual tools that i see. so it's not unusual in modern russian, it would be hard to find anyone who hasn't heard of union hunger. she's worked on television since the late 19 eighties. hosting several popular talk shows, including russia's 1st t, v show to discuss 6 bits of the questions quickly. but we can also see where, where the initial v is media of the wireless. see at the course or me of the world and your billing. you get my link just especially i took the children and did you

need to fix it or do less all of my mom doesn't have to be at the moody me and my lenient which been happening when you give me an estimate cause or a 1000000 times his father, george times moved to the soviet union in the 1930s, along with many other african americans and settled in the foods back soviet republic where he helps develop cattle breeding on collective farms. that's where amelia spent her early childhood. ready somebody will indians for any good to stay on the new union that i really built unless the deal is look at them. i must school to just says to them got the bank. i yes, yes. you will in the loop with him. yeah, it was the resume found only the,

the trends and here's what i see on my medicare. i feel so if you want me to get the book so that in that i, susan got a chance to go. so that's similar to so i was gonna say is it the book that i see them need to go a little the new my mama and roughly just into i mean you start cooking matter. she is my when you really problem. but the most on you, i mean it comes to me. why did you did this when you published, when you bring it to service? because they knew that there was racism throughout europe. but if they went to london or paris, they could stay in the very best hotel was that's not what they experience in america. ah, daily life or an african american in the thirty's was frustrating. there would be parts of town that you would not be able to go through, or you would only be allowed to go to a certain store. if there were accommodations for black,

there would be separate toilets, for example, from what it would be separate water fountains and they will usually be lower quality. i've thought about this many times. i don't even, i don't know why more african americans didn't try to go to other places. maybe it just didn't occur to them. ah, what would she division if a 1000000 depletion in you're supposed to know when you're in the gym? i was because i still faxed over the credit for the y'all on the machine. slow without the jelly is a way to, to mr. to deal with regard to the actual unit. ah, when you see the union collapsed, the descendants of those african americans had a chance to travel and to see their ancestral homeland for the 3rd time. george times his grandson yogi at times was one of the few who went to the us in the early 1919, which didn't both are quite with theory,

which there to south course are you still gripped of sure, for most boys will not be unusual and dot org you auto share. it's in the for you that migration years more than that. i'm not sure but you could, you would let me know. so i can say born. yeah, no, i don't the college for my course and yes in the year we do still know, but sure enough to do that, i get the machine of those 2 children. i'm already stuck schedule today to go in the queue. that was the most in a thursday when i took a huge banner to quit, to what was what stage screwed in with me, my the with net with the tape and little dash with it towards him out or all the way with them. yes. yes. yes. so she had to preach and get your point and smash through it. and with that, what sizable deal, which is, what i do with michelle with here with the, to my support,

you folks to whichever though, and it should give us what i see shelf as did make arthur go. but it was kick at the rich kick needed to stay. yes. i mean, when you go to the mission, leave motion with the with you as a business to season with injurious personal in knowing a little good. yeah. but just to show the kid door to door shooting me, what i see. so that unlike your times, his aunt emilia times moved to the usa and became an american citizen. she's lived there for the last 10 years. do those visit which it will do, lou, this is good. yes. what you'll do now is easy. i still can use the yeah, but i see often i'm every consequence to remind you what you've been my own sort of what your bus leave, new war. there's old yes, lou, surely usual with you,

lived in your school with fear would be for the americans of america. so got me. who's ill with family? i mean when it seems that there's no room would teachers give us more than those new way to disco? chileya but it's our new physical so use a push number, whatnot. morrison it always yo chill for me of course chemist which will probably not let me as a quin show in be she cook. i do not know. i just don't know if i wish i know who it is. voices come for a new country. you had news or for any to my disarming, come from from the street and your business. if it's something that we have probably probably that machine and then it's

a good price. you mentioned that you go me. oh me almost krisha. he's been here for francine. it is not that she'll do us must clear. we're hoarsely mom. we still only started. there's a lot of kids to, for us to just nationally and why is that? i'd make up my mind to move to russia. i want to leave a country where i was lessons from a nation, racism have we overcome all the racial problems and then for the 1930. no. not at all. if you look at the recent isn't all too frustrating. similar to decades past. the situation,

i remember like it was yesterday and i asked for help from the police where it was like an emergency. and then i became the victims as 3 police officers grabbed me and just throwing me down on the ground. and i had a brings in my hand through my arm. i thought they were going to kill me, that they're going to shoot me by 3 copies in the office. it was the worst experience of my life that i probably not want to ever, ever live again. i was so sick and because i, i grew up in a normal 4th orthodox family. you know, we're not getting there is, you know, no one has a guy and we don't have any hoodie, i thought the police are to help me. why aren't they helping me? it's history that repeated itself over and over and over again. and it hasn't been

fixed or my great grandfather george times very that combination 1900, you know, didn't great depression. so let's move and it's the same thing, different, different version when you deal with the the really well i been living in moscow for one year. exactly. i teach english, i'm a teacher. i feel free in living in russia. in rush. no matter what time it is, i can walk outside and they were sitting outside the metro bench area. i remember the police officer was walking towards us and my heart speeding fast like why? because you know, living in america, you see police yellow truck, you're traumatized, and i was like, well talk, i'm scared. and then just like,

oh my friends just moved here from america. she rush it like really 5 minutes later . that same police officer comes back with the biggest bouquet of flowers, a stranger and tells me welcome to russia you belong, hear me. i do the line here. it's a piece of me. and the more the more i'm here, the more i see that i'm not going anywhere. the lessons that i meet here 1st, like pay your for. i know that when i speak russian and then wait, wait, wait to national. the more discussion, the thing is that the scene will start symbols be the really lose lose weight. so say yes and you should be on your still boom. would he be on the doors

with sandwich village forgot to put them with a better deal as my young gotten here. you're sitting at the secretary and you're a junior you mentioned me just across gun before. listen my screen burning yesterday says say you solace. new york and les additional lashley, such as barbara because the small c i knew which in got a job. glad to talk at mama brazil as reason. it took me a sledge also into movies or she tells me i had no

service in the living gym spot where it was literally in the new then it's saying, you know, just if i knew i used to not sit in the room with the push me resist resistant, believe me. it says no one says i i

ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk me the pacific leg over around the world. expedition by 1000 miles round the clock in the wall. instead. com as every country close

by like, ah, the crew. gavin's food and water and food. good to chat those for so let me know. i got everybody locked down or no more. no food and no one really. you know, i'm not sure somebody stuck in the cove. it you're living like to see men of home, but in the 21st century, ah ah, the war we have become americans, but awarding the feet had become even one pocket and was unfolded. watershed moment

. okay. down in history as a market beginning of the end of american preeminence, this is the end of america i i am now convinced that as many as 2, including up to 7 children were tragically killed in that story. there was a mistake. and i all for my sincere apologies, h r. u. s. general admits a drone strike in capital last month killed 10 civilians including 7 show up and right before the american military allowed. took 3 weeks for washington to acknowledge that the incident after initially claiming a terrorist had been hit. we speak to the relatives of the victims in our special project on heard voices. this is not a mistake of america. this is

a crime on the morning of the bombing chic.
