Is it on purpose you don't see black people in Russia and if they are there, they are kept hidden...
I dont recall slave trade from Africa to Russia such as there was from Africa to the US where privileged whites purchased the physical person of other human beings.
There are Africans in Russia, you will find them in major cities, but mostly in Moscow. Many of the ones there decided to stay illegally while they were there for university. Others could be who knows how they got there, like the adult sons of African military pilots in Russia for training, and decided to stay behind.
Russia is out of the way of the path for Africans, which would take them into Western Europe anyway, so why vacate from there to Russia?
Russia has lots of migrants, legal and illegal, but they are primarily from Central Asia, China, and India.

There was slavery in the form of serfs, that was abolished by law in 1861. The serfs were the property of land owners, and over the centuries before 1861 the laws changed about the treatment of the serfs. The serfs were primarily people of the Russian Empire and could be any ethnicity.
Hehe, exactly ! Africans would rather stay at home and starve, rather than move to Russia. No wonder Putin wants to take over the world, so they can get out of that dismal Hellhole of a country and go where the sun shines occasionally.
