A black woman who moved from the US to Russia to escape 'discrimination' and 'racism' revealed on social media that the entire plan backfired on her in a disturbing way. In a heartbreaking video, Francine Villa claims both she and her baby were brutally attacked by racist neighbors in Moscow. The fact that the attack occurred in her homeland is an extra painful blow. Villa had previously spoken about her move back in the 2020 documentary 'Black in the USSR' which aired on the Russian State Media channel, RT. After a year of living in Moscow, she told RT, 'I feel free living in Russia, because in Russia, no matter what time it is, I can walk outside and I'm safe.' Five years later, that proved to be a fantasy.
