For those who don’t know the back story, this is, according to a NY Post video, “A black woman who moved from the US to Russia to escape ‘discrimination’ and ‘racism’ revealed on social media that the entire plan disturbingly backfired on her. Francine Villa was born in Russia, but moved to the US with her family when she was a kid. In a heartbreaking video, Francine claims both she and her baby were brutally attacked by racist neighbors in Moscow. Caitlyn Becker, host of the NY POSTcast and senior national correspondent, tells this story.”

Turns out her granddad was one of the workers - engineers, technicians, professionals in various fields and so on that industrialists like Henry Ford persuaded to move to Russia to advise and work on projects over there in the USSR in the 1930s. In her grand dad’s case he was an agriculture specialist.
Many of them got stuck over there and couldn’t get back.
So she has a family that has been there since the 30s, and her mother returned to or was sent back to the US with the kid.
They probably didn’t fit in among blacks here at all, either, so she went back.

This lady tells the story of the fate of those thousands of American engineers that Stalin had recruited in an extremely elegant and compelling narrative.
