OK, the thread on Russian colonies in Africa got me thinkin- how could there have been created in Russia from say Ottoman times, a substantial population of Afro-Russians- say, if the experience of Peter Gannbial being sent from Ethiopia/Eritrea to St Petersburg was repeated many times over ? There have been a greater no. of black ppl in Russia during the 20th C, such as with African-Mmerican Communists & their descendants who ended up moving to the USSR during the 1930s, & black Africans from Marxist countries who came over to study from the 1960s, marrying local Russian wives- but WI there'd been a much bigger black Russian population well before then ?
