Russia Has A Huge Racism Problem. This can be said either by a person who does not know the real situation with racism in Russia, or who is trying to portray the country in a negative light specifically, due to political motives. Everyday racism exists in Russia. It's stupid to deny this. Racism comes from ignorance, and since the Russian people are one of the most educated in the world, the problem of racism is not as acute as in the EU, or in the USA, for example. I'll give my own example. My father is Ukrainian, I have a Ukrainian surname, and no one told me anything about this. In Russia, there has been a saying for hundreds of years: you are greeted by your clothes, but you are seen off by your mind. For normal people, who are the majority in Russia, it doesn’t matter what nationality a person is, but what matters is how he relates to others, to society, so in Russia we are welcome for smart, hardworking, talented people who would respect our rules of community, and we don’t care what color a person’s skin, eyes, hair is . Everyone's blood is the same color.
