THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF RUSSIA
AN AUTOCHTHONOUS ABKHASIAN TRIBESMAN
Of course, they have tried every attempt to DENATIONALISE this man by labeling him an Arab, an African, etc.. But he is a remnant of THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF RUSSIA.. This brother was found in the Mountain regions of Abkhazia.. A Mixed Abkhasian Dmitri Gulia believing Herodotus's account, asserted that his peoples heritage stemmed from Egyptian king Sesostris. He published a book called, History of Abkhazia, to show that the so-called Black Colchian people of Southern Russia, were really an Abyssinian people of Egypt. He attempted to prove this by putting together a vast array of Abkhazian words that matched that of ancient Egypt's. He also chronicles family names, names of rivers and mountains, anems of pre-Christian deities, and more. You will also notice the fact hat on this man is similar to that of the British Guards. Could his hat be the inspiration behind the british guards? We do know one thing, the ancient Brits were Moors (so-called Black people).. It is possible that this is the original hat that the original british guards wore. All of the parties involve in their original form of the same bloodline.
..."Dreams Of Her Grandfather Khanga's grandfather, Oliver Golden, became a member of the Communist Party in the United States after he failed to find work as anything but a waiter despite having a college degree. He soon left for the Soviet Union with his Polish-American wife, Bertha Bialek, in one of the groups of black Americans actively encouraged by Bolshevik leaders to pull up stakes in their capitalist homeland and help build a new society in the USSR.
Golden traveled to Uzbekistan to work on cotton cultivation. He and his wife soon gave birth to a daughter named Lily, Khanga's mother."... ..."Still, Khanga -- whose great-grandfather was a slave in Mississippi -- says she believes the scourge of racism was far worse in the United States, where there were 4 million African slaves by the time slavery was abolished in 1865 and where it took another century before school segregation and other forms of racial discrimination were formally outlawed."...
How fascinating is that! Thank you so much for sharing this link. The article is dated 2009 so I understand why it hasn't received very much notoriety in our memories or media... Pres. Obama was still relatively new to the Office. The young lady says that the racism her grandparents experienced in Mississippi was far worse... I can believe that.
on the 8 countries black people should not travel to... they left out Africa... Africans tend to look down on Black Americans... and lets not forget... America.... Where oh where can a Black person go?! Perhaps Harry has the solution!!! LOL
Sister Fa, This blog got my interest because I am glad to know that the term "BLACK RUSSIAN" is more then a drink, I don't know what to do! I just came across so more info on the subject.
Topic: The most famous black Russian Posted: 20 Aug 2009 at 16:34
The greatest Russian poet and the father of the Russian literature, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin originated from a number of a very prominent Russian and European aristocratic families. However, one of his ancestor was one of his kind...
Abram Gannibal, the Moor of St. Petersburg, was perhaps the most famous African in the Russian history. Brought to St. Petersburg from Istanbul by a Peter the Great's agent he made a brilliant military and civil career in the Russian empire. He was educated in Europe where some say he befriended a several famous French thinkers inlcuding Diderot. He had amazing gifts for sciences and was particularly talented in mathematics.
It's still unclear where exactly he originates from in Africa. Several African countries try to claim the right to be his birth place.
-------------------------------------------------- Abram Petrovich[1] Gannibal, also Hannibal or Ganibal or Abram Hannibal or Abram Petrov (Russian: Абра́м Петро́вич Ганниба́л; 1696 – 14 May[2] 1781), was an Afro-Russian nobleman, military engineer and general. Kidnapped as a child and presented as a gift to Peter the Great, he was raised in the Emperor's household, and eventually rose to become a prominent member of the imperial court in the reign of Peter's daughter Elizabeth. He is the great-grandfather of the author and poet Alexander Pushkin.
..."This blog got my interest because I am glad to know that the term "BLACK RUSSIAN" is more then a drink,..."
Ha! I know how serious you are when it comes to the term referencing us ... as Black. I'm happy that you were happy. I do thank you for the additional links!
..."Gannibal married twice. His first wife was Evdokia Dioper, a Greek woman. The couple married in 1731. Dioper despised her husband, whom she was forced to marry. The marriage between Dioper and Gannibal was very volatile and he suspected her of infidelity early in their marriage.[19] Gannibal’s suspicions were confirmed when Dioper gave birth to a white daughter."...
What I found interesting was this Black man had his non Black wife... arrested. That's a trip!
..."When Gannibal found out that she had been unfaithful to him, he had her arrested and thrown into prison, where she spent eleven years living in terrible conditions. Gannibal began living with another woman..."
That is a man for you... he starts living with another woman but throws the wife in jail... two wrongs don't make a right!
