    Do You Feel Safe In Russia As A Black Person?

    Tochi's channel is built on interviews. He asks African students, doctors and mixed-race Russians about personal safety, staring in the street, racism, salaries and relationships. His most-watched video, on whether Black people feel safe in Russia, has passed a million views. The format gives a voice to a part of the foreign community that most English-language Russia channels ignore.

    The value is in the first-person testimony: a Black doctor working in Russia, what students earn in a month, what a half-Nigerian, half-Russian woman grew up with. For African readers considering study in Russia, it answers questions that official university brochures never touch.
